Officials didn't flag New Orleans' Akiem Hicks for that tackle on Falcons QB Matt Ryan, a tackle that looked suspiciously similar to the hit 49ers linebacker Ahmad Brooks landed on Saints QB Drew Brees on Sunday.
Brooks was given a 15-yard personal foul penalty, and the NFL fined him $15,750. Former NFL linebacker Ray Lewis, now an ESPN analyst, pledged to pay half of Brooks' fine.
Falcons coach Mike Smith told reporters after the game that officials told him Ryan wasn't hit in the head or neck area. (H/T NFL.com)
