The NFL has fined the New Orleans Saints, several of the team's coaches and defensive end Cameron Jordan more than half-a-million dollars for faking an injury during the team's loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Monday Night Football, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Saturday.
The Saints were fined $350,000, head coach Dennis Allen $100,000, co-defensive coordinator Ryan Nielsen $50,000 and Jordan $50,000 for their roles in the fourth-quarter delay. All parties plan to appeal their fines, the sources added.
Midway through the fourth quarter, Jordan looked to the sideline before taking a knee as Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady stepped toward center on a 4th-and-10 play.
