Justin Simmons wasn’t totally sure live, but upon video review he sees nothing wrong with his hit on Las Vegas quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo in the first quarter Sunday.<\/p>\n

The Broncos’ veteran safety crashed in to try to stop Garoppolo from getting a first down on the Raiders’ opening drive. He lunged forward with his helmet and was flagged for a personal foul. Garoppolo rolled over and held his head after the play and exited the game for two snaps after the NFL’s spotter had him removed for a concussion evaluation.<\/p>\n

Vegas took a timeout before third-and-goal as Garoppolo got cleared, allowing him to return to the game and throw a touchdown pass to Jakobi Meyers.<\/p>\n

The video shows Simmons ducking his head, but making contact with either his helmet or his shoulder in Garoppolo’s midsection and then hitting his own teammate, outside linebacker Frank Clark.<\/p>\n

“I did see that, somebody sent me (the clip), a close friend of mine,” Simmons told reporters Wednesday. “I guess great acting on Jimmy’s end. But if I get a fine… I think anyone who watches that clip can tell there was no force with the helmet. I hit his shoulder pad with my elbow and I think the rest of what I was aiming for, I ended up hitting either his back or Frank. Those types of plays are so bang-bang, critical third down. I’m not really sure how close the yardage was in real time.<\/p>\n

“I don’t make the rules, but I don’t think it was fine-worthy. If it was, I’m sure we’ll do a good job with the appeal to that.”<\/p>\n

It was one of three personal fouls on the Broncos’ defense Sunday. Nickel Essang Bassey drew a roughing-the-passer penalty and safety Kareem Jackson an unnecessary roughness penalty for a hit to the head on Meyers late in the game.<\/p>\n
