It's a bang-bang play and it appears - to me - BM was actually tucking his head in an attempt to lead with the shoulder b/c anything short of that was going to end in a head shot. It's close, but, given BM's history, he will never, ever get that call.

Exactly how i see it.
Edit : if we cant beat the Jags without BM the season is over early anyway.
