not sure if this was already posted. Looks like a clean hit to me. Either this dude is pissing in a cup or he’s paying a fine... NFL ain’t even trying to hide it

Honestly during the game, I thought it was going to be flagged. Seemed to he took a few step and had time to pull up, ball was off the Wr hands and pass him.  I was glad it didn't get flagged, but I understand the fine.

Not that big of a deal, that type of hit these days gets flagged and results in fines. Sucks that it's that way but any other player would've been fined for it too. Surprised it wasn't called.

The announcers did make a big deal out of it being a clean hit to the chest area, and not a hit on a defenseless receiver. I know, I know, that's their job, but I agree in this case. Nothing dirty there.

Nothing dirty, but the fine is expected in today's NFL.  It's part of protecting the players.

NFL’s ambiguous definition has resulted in fines for even less than Reid’s hit there. This has nothing to do with Reid, any player could’ve easily been fined for that hit.
