New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry was on the opposite end of a couple of big shots in last Sunday’s loss to the Indianapolis Colts.
And now there’s been a fine attached to one of the hits on Henry.
The NFL announced Saturday that Colts linebacker E.J. Speed was fined $22,511 for unnecessary roughness (use of helmet) when tackling Henry late in the first quarter. Speed lowered his head on the play and and hit Henry squarely in the helmet. Speed, who finished the contest with nine tackles, wasn’t penalized on the play.
