People keep saying Rudolph and "trying" to take his helmet off. I'm watching the video, and while I see a possible "attempt", he didn't, and so who cares? Garret essentially assaulted him, after a late hit during the play.
I don't think penalties should be graduated based on the actions of others during the same event (or elsewhere) but what exactly did Rudolph DO (instead of what it seemed like he was doing?) - if that makes sense the way I phrased it.

Are you saying you think Rudolph instigated it?

I could see that happening - having it play out after they get a better idea of the entirety of events.
