Here are those fines with the NFL's explanations:

 

Chicago Bears

 

D.J. Moore was fined $15,000 for unnecessary roughness; after the play, he struck an opponent late.

 

Earl Bennett was fined $10,000 for a uniform violation; he wore dominantly orange shoes. This was his second offense.

 

Detroit Lions

 

Nick Fairley was fined $15,000 for roughing the passer; he unnecessarily drove the opposing QB into the ground.

 

Rob Sims was fined $7,500 for unnecessary roughness; he struck an opponent late.

 

Matthew Stafford was fined $7,500 for unnecessary roughness; he grabbed an opponent by the helmet opening.

 

Kyle Vanden Bosch was fined $7,500 for unnecessary roughness; he unnecessarily struck an opponent late.

 

 

I think they forgot NDonkeyKong Suh for his ripping off a helmet...

I think Moore and Stafford should be reversed, as Stafford started it. The Fairley fine is bullcrap. (15K for a millionaire for intentionally trying to hurt a franchise QB.) I wonder if the fine would be the same if Peppers plants Rodgers on Christmas day??
