The Falcons and Packers had a skirmish on the field after a hit on Aaron Rodgers that some in Green Bay thought was dirty. The NFL ruled that the hit on Rodgers was OK, but what happened afterward was not.
Falcons linebacker Deion Jones was fined $33,425 for jumping into a fight in the ensuing skirmish, while Packers offensive lineman Corey Linsley $10,026 for unnecessary roughness as part of the same incident.
It all started when Falcons safety Brian Poole hit Rodgers just as Rodgers was sliding to the ground, when some Packers felt he had given himself up and should have been protected.
