The NFL’s new rule making it a penalty when a player leads with his helmet is generating plenty of grumbling about taking the football out of the sport, but more practically it’s led to confusion about how it’ll be enforced. Correa was one of the first players penalized under the new rule during the Hall of Fame Game that opened the preseason. (AP Photo/Ron Schwane, File)
