During Sunday night's 34-27 win over the Indianapolis Colts, Patriots' cornerback Justin Coleman decided to give T.Y. Hilton a friendly gesture.

After being shoved to the turf -- which was legal, as Hilton was within five yards of the line of scrimmage -- Hilton put in a valiant effort to get back up and try to block Coleman, but that didn't go so well.

The young Patriots secondary has done a fairly decent job this season. Through six weeks they're allowing on average 241.6 pass yards per game -- and burying opponents when the opportunity presents itself.
