Minnesota Vikings defensive end Jared Allen could hear from the NFL this week for a blindside block following an interception by teammate Antoine Winfield during the team's 28-10 loss to the Chicago Bears on Sunday.

In the clip above, you can clearly see Allen launching himself and hitting Bears guard Lance Louis in the head or neck area. No penalty was called, but FOX's Mike Pereira thought it should have been a penalty.

Allen does not have a long history of fines related to hits to the head. He was fined in 2008 for hitting Houston Texans quarterback Matt Schaub low.

NFL.com contributor and Fox Sports Insider Jay Glazer reported that the NFL threatened players this week in fine letters that multiple infractions could lead to a suspension. The NFL suspended Ravens safety Ed Reed, but the suspension was overturned on appeal. We contacted the NFL for comment, but have yet to hear back.

We'd expect Allen to receive a hefty fine for this hit, but a suspension wouldn't make sense because he's not a repeat offender. The Bears lost both starting guards to injury this week

I never knew until this morning that he only had 13 reps at 225 at the combine as a D-lineman.

Add weakling to the list.

If this was Suh it would add to the laundry list of questionable hits but I don't see Allen in the same light.  He is a hillbilly and I can't stand him but I see this hit as more of a mistake than intentional.  He just doesn't have the track record like Suh.

I'm surprised you would defend Allen when it was obvious that the hit was a launch.  LL is gone for the year.

I don't know... what Suh did (does) compared to what Allen did IMO was night and day.  I'm not defending him I just didn't think it was a dirty play what I see in real time compared to what I see in slow motion is different but that was just my opinion.  I couldn't watch the second half they switched it to the Bucs game so all I saw was on the internet today which the video was taken down that I watched.  Plays are fast and things happen fast.

It was clearly an intentional hit.  It's bad enough that Lovie and Idonije both mentioned it publicly from the press podium, and they almost never do that on questionable hits.  That should tell you they thought it was a blatantly cheap hit, almost assuredly with intent to injure. 

They were losing badly, and that was the only response he could muster.  It's one thing when guys play physical with the game on the line, but this game was clearly a Bears blowout and he just wanted to take it out on someone.
