NFL Analyst and Tom Brady Agree: Steelers' Kazee Deserves Season-Long Suspension for Targeting Penalties and Dangerous Hit

NFL analyst Jeff Saturday supports the league's decision to suspend Pittsburgh Steelers safety Damontae Kazee for the rest of the season due to repeated instances of targeting penalties. Kazee's suspension came after a hit on Indianapolis Colts receiver Michael Pittman Jr., resulting in an injury. Kazee has been fined five times this season for excessive helmet contact. Some argue that punishing defenders for trying to make a play is unfair, while others, including Saturday, believe the league needed to take a stand against repeated dangerous behavior.
