I have no problem with the refs calling that penalty - they are just enforcing the rules as written.
The problem is the rules - the defender looked like he was trying to avoid a helmet to helmet hit and the receiver lowered his own head.
I suppose there is an argument that the rules are just unfair (which they are) and the trade off is safety.
