Pretty simple explanation for the RTP calls against the Texans yesterday

There’s one team this year that has had a player suspended games for repeatedly leading with the crown of their helmet and tackling players - including quarterbacks - helmet-to-helmet, and it’s the Texans. Their organization also denied any wrongdoing by Azeez Al-Shaair after his late hit on Trevor Lawerence that ended Lawrence’s season.

You can bet the officiating crew was told that if they saw anything remotely resembling helmet-to-helmet contact by the Texans - especially on Mahomes - that they needed to throw the flag, because the organization has a history this year of leading with the helmet on QBs.

And, no matter how incidental the contact, they still led with their helmets at Mahomes’ head yesterday. So they were flagged for it.

Basically, if you want the benefit of the doubt on contact to the head of a QB, don’t build a reputation and be unrepentant for it in the season like the Texans.
