I didn't know this but the NFL enacted a new rule this offseason regarding catastrophic hits, ie cheap shots, that can get players suspended. And even ejected apparently.
Well, last night in the Packers v. Bears game there was a hit that is one of the cheapest shots I've seen in a long time. This was worse than hitting a defenseless receiver, this dude was head hunting and nothing else.
Here is a link to a good article and the hit from a few angles/speeds.

The rule wasn't enforced by the ref on the field in the fashion its supposed to be (ejection) and the ref should be reprimanded and written up.
I can't believe this didn't start a fight.
