And one other point on "targeting" is that it now includes "spearing." They should really be separate rules because their intent is different, but for the spearing portion of targeting, the only requirement is that the defender lowers his head and leads with the crown of the helmet. It doesn't matter where he hits the offensive player, the penalty is a result of using the crown of the helmet, and the rule's intent is actually to protect the defender from himself, from potential spinal cord injuries, by making that type of hit illegal in order to dissuade the behavior. They used to be two separate rules for two separate situations, but now the rulebook has (confusingly IMO) lumped it all into the same rule.
Edit: I'm not saying this applied in this case, it clearly didn't, but that's what the written portion about leading with the crown of the helmet, is all about.
