Greenlaw's punch missed its target, as he connected with London's helmet instead.

No penalty was called on Greenlaw during the play, but video replays of the incident showed why Greenlaw ultimately got in trouble.
London left the game to be evaluated for a concussion after the punch but was ultimately cleared and able to return.

There is no reason to believe there was any malice behind Greenlaw's punch, as it just didn't connect where it was meant to.
