Lewis declined comment on whether he thought the hit, which was delivered to the back of Bennett’s leg on a pass not intended for him, was clean.
The play in question happened early in the fourth quarter. New England quarterback Tom Brady gave a pump fake in the direction of Bennett before completing a 17-yard pass to Danny Amendola.
When asked if he was concerned it would draw a suspension, Lewis said, “There’s no concern.”
Given Burfict’s history of violations of the player-safety rules, the hit could at least draw a fine.
