I'm at work so I can't look it up for you but it was expressly stated and even put on the screen during a few games last year with the typed out explanation of what a horse collar tackle was. They even put out a video example of it on nfl.com.

The only way to horsecollar someone is to grab inside the back of their neck, exclusively, and pull them down from behind, not hit them sideways out of bounds as Bosher did, it's EXCLUSIVE to being drug down from behind, I believe the terminology was 'ridden' to the ground. Basically a horse collar is what that dude did to TO, I believe that was the clip they played with it.

At this point I will have no further communication with you, the facts are out there and your opinion is incorrect, as was the call on the field.

i could care less if you have any further communications with me, YOU sir are the one who is wrong, bosher clearly had brown by the shoulder pads and dragged him down from behind. how many posts in this thread have verified that, not just me but SEVERAL. thank you that i don't have to be bored with your 'know it all' attitude, especially when you're wrong. i'll go look up the rule and find the video, but he clearly had his hand inside the shoulder pads as he dragged him down.
