Vikings lost Bridgewater to a dirty hit to the head after they targeted Teddy's knees earlier in the game. They also were responsible for putting Roethlisberger on the injured list this year with a dirty hit to his knees. Not really surprising that they are doing this considering the DC is Greg "Bountygate" Williams.

NFL likely won't do anything until one of the cut defensive players spills the beans on Williams new bounty scheme in a year or two.

That wasn't dirty. Bridgewater didn't initiate the solid until he was within three yards of a defensive player running full speed at him, and you can clearly see the Rams player try to pull to the side.

The play that injured Roethlisberger wasn't dirty either. A blitzing safety got tripped up on the line of scrimmage and fell into Roethlisberger's ankle. He wasn't flagged on the play either.

-$23,152 fine for that hit. I thought the hit was a definite cheap shot.

-I think it was the Rams vs Giants game last year. There was a game the Rams played in 2014 where they were fighting every series & pretty much all the fights were started by the Rams defense. An absolute ugly game.

- Recall back in August & this Rams team picked fights in a scrimmage vs the Cowboys. A scrimmage! What does that tell you?

It was a dirty hit on Bridgewater. Dude threw an elbow to the head. Especially considering the chicken crap roughing the passer call on the Vikings just before that.
