It has been a week since the NFC Championship game, and we finally got our first word from the National Football League about the incident involving New Orleans Saints wide receiver Tommylee Lewis and Los Angeles Rams cornerback Nickell Robey-Coleman Friday. The league gave Robey-Coleman a $26,000 fine for his hit on the Saints receiver but said nothing else about the play in question.
The controversial hit, which did not get called on the field, caused the Saints to have to kick a field goal and give the Rams possession of the ball instead of being inside the 10-yard line and being able to run down the clock and win the game.
