An article on whether to pay Goldson or not.
On one, Goldson arrived to the pile late and delivered a shot to running back Ray Rice's head area. Rice was clearly upset after the play. He yelled across the line of scrimmage toward Goldson while returning to the huddle. One play later, Rice lost a fumble.

Goldson also brought down Ravens running back Bernard Pierce with a violent tackle along the sideline. Pierce had gained eight yards on the play, his longest run of the day. But he was slow to get up from the hit. Pierce, who had carried nine times for 30 yards to that point in the game, gained three yards on three additional rushes.

The hits from Goldson might not have affected the production for Rice and Pierce, but they represent the tone-setting qualities a physical safety can bring to a defense.
