Also from that game, Giants center Weston Richburg was docked $12,154 for his unsportsmanlike conduct after being ejected. New York safety Andrew Adams was fined $9,115 for hitting a Redskins player who was out of bounds during a punt.

Buffalo linebacker Jerry Hughes was docked $9,115 for ripping off the helmet of Arizona quarterback Carson Palmer after he was already sacked by Lorenzo Alexander.

San Diego offensive lineman Chris Hairston was fined $24,309 after he argued with an official and then bumped into him during a game against Indianapolis. Hairston was flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct.

Houston wide receiver Jaelen Strong was hit with a $9,115 fine after he was assessed a personal foul for slapping New England cornerback Cyrus Jones in his facemask after a play.
