PHILADELPHIA -- Atlanta Falcons rookie strong safety Keanu Neal said he did nothing wrong on a controversial fourth-quarter hit against Philadelphia Eagles?wide receiver Jordan Matthews?--?a play that did not draw a penalty for helmet-to-helmet contact in the Eagles 24-15 victory.Im not trying to hit the guy in the head, Neal said. Thats not me. Never in the game of football will I ever try to do that. Im not a dirty player like that. But I went for the strike zone. I lowered my shoulder. And I felt like I hit him in the sternum. I dont think I had any head-to-head contact.Matthews, naturally, disagreed.Yes, I definitely think it was a penalty, Matthews said. My helmet was bent.

And if theres a hit to the head, then we didnt lower our strike zone low enough. But Ill go back and look, but I didnt get a chance to see. ... But I can tell you [Neal] is clearly becoming a very physical safety, in the box, out.By no means is he taught to go up high or do anything thats out of whack. The leverage tackling that we do, we want to absolutely throw fast balls in that strike zone. And if that target is on point, Ill applaud that hit as loud as I can.Eagles coach Doug Pederson was asked if he got an explanation on the no-call.No, Pederson said.Neal could be subject to a fine this week. But he maintained his innocence.Never do I attempt to hit someone in the head, Neal said. Thats just not the type of player I am. Im not there to play like that. [Coach Quinn] always talks about the strike zone. You guys know Im a physical player, but Im not trying to hit the dude in the head. They didnt call a flag. ... I dont think I hit him in the head, but I didnt attempt to hit him in the head. ' ' '
