Shaun Hill: Patriots Tried to Break My Arm

Filed under: Lions, Patriots, AFC East, NFC North

Lions quarterback Shaun Hill says the New England Patriots weren't in much of a holiday spirit during their Thanksgiving game.

In fact, according to Hill -- who has been playing despite a broken bone in his left forearm -- the Patriots were intentionally trying to injure him. Hill said that in a pileup on a quarterback sneak the Patriots were targeting his injured arm.

"That's why I eventually gave up the ball," Hill said. "Somebody was down there (in the pile) literally trying to break my arm, which is already broken. Literally, trying. And, uh, y'know, I guess wasn't seen (by officials)."

If Hill's story can be corroborated by video, the Patriot player or players responsible should be fined heavily, if not suspended. There's no place in the NFL for intentionally trying to injure an opponent.
