Broke his jaw and destroyed his teeth. Ouch.

100% legal hit too.

He does lead with the crown of his helmet a bit... I could see the league taking an extra look at it.

Yeah, I think that will draw a fine. Top of the helmet to the punter's (now broken) jaw...

Serves the punter right for not getting the hell out of the way.

Probably get him for hitting a player in a defenseless position too....even though it's his own damn fault for not keeping "his head on a swivel" -high school football coach speak

I don't think he is in a defenseless position.  He was trying to make a play and should be ok to get hit.  Question will be helmet to helmet/chin.  Given the severity of the injury, media coverage of play, and importance of play, I would fully expect a fine.  Looks pretty borderline to me though.
