Marquette King Fined For Horse-Collar Tackle

With about 1:30 remaining until halftime, trailing 10-7, the Raiders were forced to punt. King booted one 55 yards, only to have Atlanta Falcons return man Eric Weems run it back 73 yards.

No one on punt coverage could make a tackle, so it was up to Marquette. He was able to grab Weems from behind, but unfortunately it was a horse-collar tackle. Luckily, Weems was not injured on the play.
