VIDEO: Vikings LB Anthony Barr Should Be Punished for Late Illegal Hit on Matthew Stafford
By Michael Luciano
Minnesota Vikings linebacker Anthony Barr has likely just earned himself a one-way trip to the NFL's principal's office, as he launched himself into the helmet of Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford. Barr was flagged on the play, but it's surprising that was the extent of Barr's punishment.

The league has shown that they're willing to come down hard on hits like this, so Barr can likely expect a major fine coming his way and potentially a suspension if the NFL sees fit.
