    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>"In other instances this contact might be illegal, since a defensive player has the responsibility to avoid unnecessary contact even when he is blocked by an opponent. However, in this case, the late slide and the block in the back were mitigating factors," NFL senior vice president of football operations Ray Anderson said in a statement.</div>http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2586507

    Just because he got blocked in the back doesn't mean he should've attacked Green.

He didn't attack Green. He went for a clean tackle, and Green dived.And we all know it's soooo easy to stop your momentum when you get pushed from behind.
