The Ravens don’t expect “any repercussions†on Ray Lewis’ helmet-to-helmet hit on Cincinnati receiver Chad Ochocinco. “Watching it on TV, I think it was in the strike zone [which is below the neck and above the knees],†Ravens coach John Harbaugh said Monday. “But I’m sure that is something [the NFL] will take look at and we’ll find and see. As far as the game, that’s a tough call to make either way.†This would mark the second straight week that a Ravens player received a fine. Last week, defensive tackle Haloti Ngata was fined $5,000 when his arm hit the side of Tom Brady’s helmet. Source: Baltimore Sun
Ochocinco has tweeted he doesn't want a fine either, thats very standup of him. A fine would be a bit silly here, this was exactly the kind of hit you see on all those Classic Football shows on NFLN.
It is what it is. Ray should get his Fedex package from the NFL on Wednesday or Thursday. And tell Chad to pay Ray's fine.
