Is this still considered a face mask penalty? I just noticed this picture.

Yup. Rule 9-1-2-g:

No player shall twist, turn or pull the face mask or any helmet opening of an opponent. It is not a foul if the face mask or helmet opening is not twisted, turned or pulled. When in question, it is a foul.

I remember this play.

No penalty was called.

I don't think that is considered a helmet opening (unless one of his fingers is in the earhole).  His fingers are under the back of the helmet but they don't touch the mask or any opening from what I can tell.  Should it be a penalty.............absolutely, but under that terminology I don't think thats an opening.
