Patriots running back Sony Michel lowered the boom on an opponent during Thursday’s game against the Colts, but the way he went about doing it was not legal.<\/p>\n

And yet, somehow, no penalty was called.<\/p>\n

It happened in the second quarter of the game, when Michel was attempting to finish off a solid piece of running with a touchdown. He was met by Colts safety Clayton Geathers, and then elected to lower his helmet — essentially initiating contact with his opponent’s head. The helmet-to-helmet hit that followed knocked Geathers down, and he was eventually taken to the locker room, as he entered concussion protocol.<\/p>\n
