Julian Edelman won’t be getting away with his hit on Lafayette Pitts.
During the New England Patriots’ matchup with the Buffalo Bills on Monday night, Edelman called for a fair catch before hitting Pitts in the face mask. The veteran wide receiver was called for an illegal block during the game, and the third-quarter hit reportedly will cost the wide receiver a bit of money.
