Seattle Seahawks defensive end Michael Bennett has been hit with a $20,000 fine for an unnecessary roughness penalty against Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton in Week 5.
NFL.com's Ian Rapoport reported Bennett's fine.
The play in question occurred late in the second quarter, when Seahawks safety Earl Thomas picked off Dalton in the end zone. Thomas returned the ball out to the Bengals' 31-yard line, but he was called back as Bennett blocked Dalton in the back and continued to knock him into the turf while trying to get up.
