NBC: Hit that injured Lockette was illegal, but NFL didn’t fine Heath

So in other words, look for the NFL to make amends during the Cowboys-Eagles game.

To be honest, the hit didn't even look that hard to me. It was the result of Lockette laying there motionless that made it look like a vicious hit in retrospect. Heath hit him from the front, not the side. So how was it a blindside hit? He didn't lead with his helmet either. And if it was a violation, why wasn't he fined? I don't even think they called it a penalty during the game.

Yes it was a penalty during the game
