Falcons' Chris Blair Fined for Unflagged Blindside Block

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Chris Blair was fined $5,972 for unnecessary roughness on a blindside block during Atlanta's first kickoff return against the Bears. Notably, the play was not flagged on the field, meaning the discipline came only after league review. The unflagged nature of the hit is the kind of thing Chicago will point to when reviewing the tape.
