Packers safety Javon Bullard received a 15-yard penalty for a hit that caused Vikings quarterback Kyler Murray to leave Sunday's game with a concussion.

O’Neill admitted he hesitated to react strongly during the game but now wishes he had confronted Bullard more forcefully.
Bullard avoided ejection during the game but is expected to face an NFL fine or possible suspension for the hit.
