Browns center Alex Mack was fined $5,000 for his late hit in the Chiefs game.CLEVELAND -- Browns center Alex Mack was fined $5,000 for striking an opponent late during the Chiefs game, a league spokesman said.
Specifically, Mack jumped over the pile and drilled linebacker Derrick Johnson. Mack was flagged 15-yards for unnecessary roughness, and two plays later Phil Dawson was wide right on a 42-yard field goal attempt.
The penalty came just a few plays after Mack said that Chiefs defensive lineman Shaun Smith grabbed his testicles, which incited Mack and had him shouting at Smith. It's unknown whether or not that incident led to Mack's penalty.
Meanwhile, Kansas City's Kendrick Lewis was also fined $5,000 for the helmet-to-helmet hit that left Browns tight end Evan Moore with a concussion. Browns defensive end Kenyon Coleman was not fined for his unnecessary roughness flag.
