- Pittsburgh Steelers: The team was fined $35,000 and Emanuel Sanders $15,000 for faking an injury to gain an extra time-out in their game against the Bengals.
If this is verifiable, how Sanders was not suspended and the Steelers docked far more (and 15 yards) is beyond me.
- San Diego Chargers: Team fined $20,000 for failure to comply with a game official. It was believed that illegal stick-em was on some of the towels that the team had used, and the officials wanted them confiscated. It was determined that the charge had no merit.
- Baltimore Ravens: Dannell Ellerbee fined $10,000 for striking a defenseless Cleveland Brown (Trent Richardson) in the head.
- Philadelphia Eagles: Michael Vick (yes, THAT Michael Vick) was fined $7,875 for a low block on a pick-six end-to-end return of one of his interceptions in the loss to the Saints.
- Tennessee Titans: Michael Griffin: $20,000 for a horse-collar vs. the Bears. That makes him a TWO-TIME LOSER.
- Tennessee Titans: Matt Hasselbeck: $15,750 for another horse-collar. According to the NFL.com article sourced at the Vick fine link, he's appealing.
- Carolina Panthers got two as well: Haruki Nakamara, $21,000 for striking a defenseless player in the head and neck.
- and Greg Hardy, $15,750 for roughing the passer, Robert Griffin III of the Redskins.
- Oakland Raiders: Tyron Branch, $15,750 for another horse-collar against the Buccaneers.
- Green Bay Packers: Ryan Taylor, $21,000 for a blind-side illegal block.
- Arizona Cardinals: Same game, Quentin Groves, $15,750 for, you guessed it, a horse-collar tackle!
- Indianapolis Colts: Cassius Vaughn, $7,875 for a late hit on Miami's Reggie Bush.
Four horse-collars, several defenseless player fouls, that's $220,750 down the tubes.
