Detroit offensive lineman Dominic Raiola said Tuesday he has no regrets about what happened between him and Patriots defensive lineman Zach Moore last Sunday.
In the waning moments of New England’s 34-9 win over the Lions, Raiola could be seen diving at Moore’s knees, as well as trying to punch him in the back of the head. Raiola said Tuesday he wasn’t going to be fined by the NFL for the incident.
“There’s no fine,” Raiola told reporters. “It’s during the game. I don’t know about regrets, I don’t live life with regrets. I didn’t intentionally try to hurt anybody. I didn’t try to do anything out of the ordinary.
“So, just play the game,” he added. “I didn’t make it a big deal, everybody else did.’
Moore shrugged off what happened, while Patriots coach Bill Belichick took a swipe at Raiola the day after the incident, reminding people that Raiola was likely frustrated about what happened because he’s never beaten the Patriots in his 14 seasons in the NFL.
“I don’t really care what he said,” Raiola said when asked about Belichick’s comments. “Not a lot of people beat those guys. I didn’t make it an issue. I just finished the game.”
