Ok so Wilson gets fined $15,000 + for his horse collar. Obviously the league looked at film and decided he deserved the fine, but I have a question in regards to the horse collar rule. It was my understanding that if Wilson touched the Rams shoulder pad first he then could grab the collar of the shirt (which he did do). It was my understanding it was only illegal if Wilson grabbed the collar only (which he did not do). I thought it was a bad penalty and feel its a bad fine but again obviously the league would have reviewed the film to make their decision.

Also, should not the defensive player have been fined for the helmet to helmet hit on RG3 ( I think the 4th quarter?) and the hit on Davis? With Davis the player launched himself at Davis and hit helmet to helmet. Yet no fines?
