- Two teams were fined for violations of injury policies. Buffalo was fined $20,000 for failing to report treatment on Mario Williams' wrist. Washington was fined $20,000 for reporting Robert Griffin III's concussion to the media in a proper manner.
Why? So the betting lines would change at halftime or something??
- Detroit Lions: Nate Burleson, $10,000 for using gun-like motions in his touchdown celebration.
- Houston Texans: Danieal Manning: $15,000 for throwing a punch in the game against the Packers.
- Minnesota Vikings: Harrison Smith: $15,750 for a horse-collar on Robert Griffin III of the Redskins.
- Seattle Seahawks: Jason Jones: $15,750 for a helmet-to-helmet on Tom Brady of the Patriots.
- New York Jets: Quinton Coples: $10,000 for unnecessary roughness against Andrew Luck of the Colts.
- New York Jets: Aaron Maybin: $7,875, same penalty, same target.
- Detroit Lions: Lawrence Jackson: $15,750 for roughing the passer, Michael Vick of the Eagles.
You notice: There were seven player fines this week. Only TWO did not involve cheap shots on quarterbacks!
