Rice still doesn't understand chop-block penalty

Ravens running back Ray Rice watched the play where he was called for a chop block, but he is still doesn't understand why he was flagged. The penalty came one play before he broke a 48-yard touchdown catch-and-run. "I definitely would appeal it," Rice said. "I was releasing for a pass on that [play]. It was a protection where everyone on the line was in ‘cut protection,’ so at the same time, he embraced me, hit me over the head and went down. That’s a judgmental call. "Obviously, nobody wants to get chop-blocked. It wasn’t intended to be a chop block. I’m sure whatever fine will be assessed, it will definitely be handled in a correct matter.”
