Patriots defensive end Andre Carter was fined the same amount Friday for hitting Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers in the chest with his helmet. San Diego safety Eric Weddle was docked $15,000 for unnecessary roughness in the same game, a 35-21 victory by New England, when he made helmet-to-helmet contact with Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski.
Philadelphia defensive tackle Cullen Jenkins was also fined $15,000 for a helmet-to-helmet hit on Atlanta quarterback Matt Ryan.
It was announced earlier this week that Falcons cornerback Dunta Robinson was fined $40,000 for leading with his helmet while crashing into Eagles wide receiver Jeremy Maclin.
