The NFL announced Friday that they fined the New England Patriots defensive back James Sanders, Arizona Cardinals linebacker Chike Okeafor and St. Louis Rams defensive end Chris Long each $7,500 for violation to league rules during Sunday’s season finale.
The reason for the fine to Sanders was unnecessary roughness. He hit a defenseless receiver wearing the Houston Texans jersey during last week’s loss to the Texans. The Texans player was hit on the back was he was falling in a try to make a catch in the end zone.
Okeafor and long’s fines were for similar reason. Okeafor hit Green Bay Packers quarterback Matt Flynn with a facemask during last Sunday’s game, and Long was fined because he had a head-butt to San Francisco 49ers tackle Chris Patrick.
