Nickell Robey-Coleman draws fine for non-call hit
The NFL has handed down a punishment for Rams cornerback Nickell
Robey-Coleman's hit in the NFC Championship Game.
The NFL fined Robey-Coleman a sum of $26,739 for his hit on Saints
receiver Tommy lee Lewis in the Rams' 26-23 overtime win over the
Saints, NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reported, per a source informed
of the situation. It was first reported by ESPN.
Pelissero added, per a source, that Robey-Coleman plans to appeal
the fine.
The fourth-quarter hit did not draw a flag for pass interference or a
helmet-to-helmet infraction. With the fine, Pelissero points out that
it is an acknowledgement that a hit of a defensive player flag should
have been drawn.
