Looks like the NFL is in a generous mood during this Holiday season.
First we hear Ndamakong Suh gets off without a suspension, and now the league has decided that the New Orleans Saints DT Brodrick Bunkley kick to the back of the 49ers' Alex Boone does nto warrant a suspension either.
He will of course, receive a fine. The Associated Press cited an anonymous source saying the decision came down not to suspend him, but a fine is still possible later this week. Without a suspension Bunkley will be active against Atlanta on Thursday night.
The kick in question got him ejected with 1:05 left int he game when he kicked Boone after the Saints blocked a field goal.

Still eying playoffs, Saints get ready for Falcons
Drew Brees happily entertains playoff possibilities for the New Orleans Saints, figuring that the question of whether a 5-6 team deserves to be in the NFC wild card race is irrelevant.
He has a point.
Despite an 0-4 start and their latest loss on Sunday to San Francisco, New Orleans remains one game out with five games left. To Brees, that means the Saints are virtually in control...

The incident happened in the third quarter of play as Colston was hit low by 49ers safety DaShon Goldson and was sent helmet first into the Superdome turf:
Thankfully for Marques...
