This is a joke. 21,000 for a player who wrapped up, and tried to lead with his shoulder. The other hits they fine for I'm OK with, but to fine a player who wrapped up and made a tackle on a receiver who obviously was not "defenseless" and turned up field is a joke.

"Personal foul. On the defense. Unnecessary toughness. 15 yard penalty. Automatic FIRST DOWN."


(yeah the fact there was no penalty makes the fine worse.)
