Bill Belichick Comments on Danny Amendola's Hit on Chiefs' Jamell Fleming

New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick came to the defense of receiver Danny Amendola for a huge hit he delivered while on punt-coverage duty during the team's 27-20 divisional-round victory over the Kansas City Chiefs on Saturday.

The 30-year-old drew a personal-foul penalty for unnecessary roughness when he drilled Jamell Fleming, but Belichick didn't see anything wrong with it, per ESPN.com's Mike Reiss:

I saw him block the guy trying to down the ball. It is hard to tell from the coaching film where the hit occurred.
