Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers received a $9,115 fine from the NFL for his facemask penalty against the Atlanta Falcons in the NFC Championship Game last Sunday.
Rob Demovsky of ESPN passed along word of the punishment Saturday, which stems from a play where Rodgers' hand latched on to the helmet of Falcons cornerback Robert Alford and ripped it off.
The Packers' QB was flagged for a 15-yard penalty on the play. Green Bay was trailing 44-15 midway through the fourth quarter at the time, and a visibly frustrated Rodgers also bumped Alford on his way back to the huddle afterward.
