It's possible it wasn't, but probable it was. I saw the video, I froze it, and it sure looks like it. It may not be conclusive, but how does a helmet pop off like that if he didn't hit it? Was the ref blind in reverse?
Besides, the bad call never impacted the game, so what's the big deal? The article claims it's some game changer, but it wasn't at all.
