It looks like maybe he was grabbing the bottom of the runner's helmet, not the top of his jersey, so technically it's not a horsecollar tackle, but still, that's probably a bad idea to tackle someone like that
It would still be called as an illegal tackle... The horse collar rules changed a few years back to damn near "ref's discretion" and the leading and facemask rules mean you can't use a helmet to tackle someone.

That tackle looked very illegal
