"Yeah, I don't understand that - that rule," Reid said. 

"I guess it's open-hand fist, whatever, I don't know. I mean, I don't know what their decision was on that. But he definitely got hit in the head pretty hard whether it was an open fist or a closed fist," Reid continued. 

According to the NFL rule book, an open-hand strike is illegal but does not call for a mandated disqualification. A closed-fist punch would call for an automatic disqualification. 

Reid was asked if he had gotten clarity from the league regarding the decision.

"Yeah, I will work that out with the league," he said.
