Big Ben hit

[Poacher]

I did not see it. Can someone who saw it please tell me if it was in fact illegal or one of those legal cheap shots.

Also, I've just read that Ben said that one of the Falcons taunted him after the hit. Any idea who it may have been?

Poacher,
Where did you read that Ben said one of the Falcon's taunted him? Can you provide a link? I'd like to check it out.

It wasn't cheap, just several Falcons collapsing on him at once. Didn't see any taunting or hear or read anything about it, but it could have happened.

From the article:

He also won't forget the crude comment made by one of the three Atlanta Falcons players who, while sacking him Sunday, apparently taunted Roethlisberger by saying he wanted to hit him in his surgically repaired face.

Looks like it may have been a deliberate attempt to injure Big Ben. I wonder if the league will investigate?

From the article:

He declined to identify the player who talked about the facial injuries the quarterback received during his June motorcycle crash, but said: "I'll remember his number."

"They made a little comment, but I won't bring it up right now," he said. "When I got hit, I wasn't worried about the front of it (the jaw) -- it's stronger than it was before -- but the back of it was a little sore."

He was hit by three players, two black and one white: Chauncey Davis, Ed Hartwell, and Patrick Kerney, respectively. What do you think are the odds that it was Davis or Hartwell?

I'd say Davis. Isn't he a backup? Nice way to make a name for himself, taking out Big Ben. Isn't he the one who hit him last as well?
