NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell acknowledged Monday that the game officials “missed at least one” illegal hit on Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton by Denver Broncos defenders during the league’s season-opening game Thursday. But Goodell suggested that will be addressed by disciplinary action by the league.
Goodell seemed to single out a helmet-to-helmet hit by Broncos linebacker Brandon Marshall on Newton.
“That’s what the football staff is going through now, to find out what plays – clearly I know we missed at least one in there,” Goodell said at FedEx Field prior to the Washington Redskins’ game Monday night against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
