J.J. Watt ripped the NFL for its decision to fine Jets running back Breece Hall $43,709 Saturday for “unnecessary roughness” in the Jets’ 13-8 loss to the Falcons in Week 13.
Hall was assessed the massive pay deduction for making a standard football play. During the game, Hall caught a pass in the flat and lowered his head while preparing for a huge tackle from Falcons cornerback A.J. Terrell.
Hall was not penalized for the play, while Terrell entered concussion protocol.
