Watch: Ben Roethlisberger drilled by Courtney Upshaw

Baltimore Ravens linebacker Courtney Upshaw gave the debut of Thursday Night Football on CBS a proper introduction by absolutely annihilating Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger on an early first-quarter sack.

Unfortunately, Upshaw’s bone-crushing blow did not go unpenalized despite being a seemingly legal hit. It appears that Upshaw hit Roethlisberger squarely in the chest, but the second-year linebacker was flagged for a 15-yard personal foul nonetheless.

The questionable call sparked some entertaining discussion about just how ridiculous the penalty was.
