NFL fines A.J. Green for throwing ball into stands during Bengals' win over Seahawks

A.J. Green paid more than $5,000 for one lucky fan to get a game-used football.

It's not often you see a Bengals offensive player fined, but that happened this week for something rather trivial.

Wide receiver A.J. Green has been fined $5,787 for throwing a football into the stands during Sunday's 27-24 win over the Seahawks, according to Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk. The play in question happened in the first quarter on the Bengals' second offensive series.

On the play, Green beat several Seahawks defenders for deep pass that he took to the house for a 72-yard touchdown.
