But now, according to Pro Football Talk, the NFL is considering a suspension for Talib to start the 2016 season.
“My teammates knew what it was,” Talib said Monday admitting he used the facemask to aid in the tackle (via NESN.com). “He was on the 3-yard line. (With) a personal foul, he was on the one-and-a-half-yard line, so it is what it is…
“It’s probably going to be a fine. But, hey, we’re world champs.”
Talib had multiple personal foul penalties in the game and has a spotty history after poking Colts tight end Dwayne Allen in the eye earlier in the year.
Considering how bad the tackle on Brown appeared and how little Talib seems to care about the injury implications a tackle like that carries, discipline appears warranted and imminent.
