Green Bay’s Nick Collins Fined $50,000 For Helmet Hit

The NFL has been making a fuss about excessively hard tackles this season due to the risk of injury associated with certain types of hits.

That’s why it was no surprise when Green Bay Packers safety Nick Collins was fined $50,000 after he laid out Dallas Cowboys receiver Roy Williams by hitting him on the back of the head during Sunday night’s game.

We think it’s a good idea to keep an eye on excessively hard tackles, because the entire game could suffer if players are always injured from getting knocked around a little too hard!
