Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman was fined roughly $9,000 for his hit on Buffalo Bills kicker Dan Carpenter near the end of the first half of Seattle's 31-25 win Monday.
While Sherman was only called for being offside on the play, the NFL ruled it unnecessary roughness, according to Pro Football Talk. The NFL on ESPN reported the specific amount of the fine to be $9,115.
Following the play, NFL Senior Vice President of Officiating Dean Blandino tweeted that the officials erred in their ruling:
