The NFL handed Chargers S Derwin James one of the highest fines of the season.
The Chargers safety put his helmet on the side of Dulin’s helmet Monday night, immediately drawing an ejection, a ruling Colts coach Jeff Saturday believed was warranted.
“It was right in front of me, and it definitely deserved an ejection,” Saturday said. “You can’t launch into a guy’s head, especially a guy who’s turned the other way and unprotected.” Los Angeles head coach Brandon Staley had initially tried to mount a defense of James in the immediate aftermath of the game, blaming the Colts and quarterback Nick Foles for putting Dulin in that position, although James had time to lower his target area and hit Dulin’s body.
“It’s a play where they obviously laid the guy out in a tough position, which is their fault, not ours, and Derwin made an aggressive play,” Staley said. “I’ve seen him make a lot of tackles on plays just like that, and I know that his target was not above the neck. I know that.”
