"When he gets beaten on a play and then retaliates with a cheap shot, it's uncalled for," Wiegmann said. "But a lot of guys on their defense are doing that type of stuff. If you go back and watch the play-by-play, stuff happens late all the time."
Cutler, meanwhile, was seemingly becoming a bounty target. First, Patriots safety Rodney Harrison — who in an ESPN.com survey of NFL head coaches was dubbed the league's dirtiest player — went out of his way to blast Cutler.
"The play right before Rodney Harrison got hurt?" Wiegmann said of the season-ending knee injury the Pats' safety suffered later in the game. "He cheap-shotted me right around the pile after the play. Stuff like that, they get away with."
