Cowboys safety Jeff Heath avoided a fine on the hit that sent Dolphins receiver Allen Hurns to the hospital.
On review, the league determined Heath’s helmet-to-helmet hit was incidental contact as the safety was playing the ball, according to a source.
Both players were going for the ball, arriving at the same time. Heath, who was not penalized for the hit, called it a “bang-bang play.”
Hurns will miss this week’s game with a concussion.
Heath’s teammate, cornerback Byron Jones, was not as fortunate. He lost $10,527 for unnecessary roughness.
Jones had a facemask penalty in the fourth quarter.
Dolphins cornerback Xavien Howard, who was ejected for unnecessary roughness in the fourth quarter, also lost $10,527 out of his paycheck.
