FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. -- Atlanta Falcons defensive end Kroy Biermann was fined $8,681 for grabbing a face mask during the 31-21 loss to the New Orleans Saints on Oct. 15.
Biermann drew a 15-yard penalty after pulling the face mask of Saints running back Khiry Robinson in the fourth quarter after Robinson's 8-yard run. Biermann ran across the field and reached out his left hand at the last second to bring Robinson down, but he appeared to get some of the face mask. Falcons defensive lineman Tyson Jackson trailed on the play and tried to protest the call to the officials by throwing his hands in the air.
