Will Pryor get fined and/or suspended?

Not open for further replies.
It's on the video, classic whiplash reaction to Pryor's hit bringing his head forward and impacting the top of Pryor's helmet. Nothing dirty, the problem is the NFL is making such a fuss about blows to the head that I can't rule out the FEDEX letter of fate.

Even tho' the helmet impacted Favre's chin it did not have enough direction or force to drive his head back, either just making contact or sliding across the chin, which may have caused the lesion. After watching several times, I couldn't help but think, "glass jaw".
 
Wilfork was fined originally. However, he appealed and it was over-turned when it was pointed out that Butler blocked him into Losman (?) and that the hit was, actually, at the waist.
Aren't you thinking of the elbow to the knee? That was fined when it put Losman out several weeks. There was a 2008 game after the so-called "Brady" rule where Wilfork hit a QB at the waste in the end zone and was flagged. I still don't recall if there was a fine, but I remember Mike Perera (sp?) dancing the cha-cha all around that flag on NFL Total Access.

Whiplash, the force drove his Lordship's body backwards snapping the neck sharply forward where there just happened to be a large, hard object at the correct height for the chin to impact. Recall that his Lordship's body pretty much went limp, he couldn't even curl into a proper fetal position for the first few moments as Pryor climbed off him and began the D-lineman's strut. His Lordship was down for a ten count.
