According to Reiss’ sources, Edelman will appeal the fine.
NESN’s Zack Cox was able poinpoint the illegal hit in the following Vine clip, Cardinals linebacker Deone Bucannon (20) was drilled in the facemask by Edelman but a flag was never thrown on the play.
LRT: Gonna guess this was the hit that earned Edelman his fine. https://t.co/5yiEYUjM2P
