Before games on Sunday in week 2 of the National Football League season, the NFL's vice president of officiating, Dean Blandino, sent out a video package to fans of "tough, physical - and legal - hits" from week 1 in the season.
"We have no higher priority in the NFL than the health and safety of our players," Blandino?said in a statement accompanying the?video. "We are committed to taking the head out of the game and making sure the NFL sets the example for safer play at all levels of our sport.
"Our players, some of the finest athletes in the world, have embraced the message," Blandino said. "They have adjusted their play to conform with the rules. They are lowering their targets and the result of that is a safer game, one that still includes the tough, physical elements that players and passionate fans like you have come to love."
Given what happened Sunday at Lambeau Field, one guy who may not have received this memo was Redskins free safety Brandon Meriweather.
Meriweather's?helmet-to-jaw hit on Packers running back Eddie Lacy knocked the rookie running back out of the game on his second carry. And his helmet-to-helmet hit on Packers running back James Starks knocked Meriweather himself out of the game.
Meriweather owned the concussion franchise in week 2 of the NFL season.
