The Packers were penalized 15 yards in the third quarter for Woodson's punch. He was not ejected, and the Packers went on to win 42-34.

After the game, Woodson admitted he took a swing at Saints tight end David Thomas.

"Yeah, I threw a punch," Woodson said following the Packers' victory. "Just got frustrated, the guy was holding me a little longer than I wanted. Nothing was said about it, referee-wise, quick enough, and I reacted. It is what it is, I guess."

Woodson said at the time that he expected a fine from the league.
