FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Last Sunday's chippy game between the New England Patriots and Cincinnati Bengals has resulted in a handful of fines.
For the Patriots, running back LeGarrette Blount, receiver Julian Edelman and tight end Rob Gronkowski were each fined $9,115. The amount is pre-determined as part of the collective bargaining agreement.
Blount's fine was for unnecessary roughness, Edelman's was a result of a facemask penalty, and Gronkowski's was for taunting. On Thursday, Gronkowski told reporters he had not been aware of any fine.
Meanwhile, Blount kept a low profile this week as he politely declined media interviews in the aftermath of pushing Burfict after Burfict had stomped on his right leg following a goal-line run.
