Fine Blotter Week 10: As expected, Lions-Bears dominates the early fines...

One other fine first:
  • It took eleven weeks, but the Dallas Cowboys finally have their first fine of the season (at least from what I have found: DeMarcus Ware: $15,000 for roughing the passer.

This now leaves the Indianapolis Colts as the only team in the NFL not to be fined so far, at least from all the information I've been able to glean.

The number of fines from the Bears-Lions game has grown to at least six!

  • For the Bears: Earl Bennett: $10,000 for a TWO-TIME LOSER uniform violation IN CONSECUTIVE WEEKS (same illegal shoes).
  • DJ Moore: $15,000 for the scuffle.
  • For the Lions, the fines are now at four! The hit which precipitated the scuffle by QB Matthew Stafford was deemed illegal and costs Stafford $7,500.
  • Rob Sims: $7,500 for his role therein.
  • Kyle Vandenbosch: $7,500 for a late hit.
  • And to absolutely NO ONE'S SURPRISE: Nick Fairley: $15,000 for roughing the passer.

There will be more from other games, and I'm not so sure the league is done with Lions-Bears either!
