Quinton Coples received an unnecessary roughness penalty on Sunday for his huge hit on Donald Brown during the second quarter of the Jets-Chargers game.
The Chargers had a first-and-10 from the 15 and handed off to Brown, who was immediately taken out by a clothesline from Coples. Coples came around the edge and made a brilliant play, but the refs saw a helmet come off and threw the flag.
The Chargers got 10 yards from the spot of the foul and ended up scoring a touchdown on the drive to go up 14-0. I say the hit was worth it.
Brown immediately grabbed his head after the hit and exited the game for the bench.
