Titans Player and Coach Fined

Jim Wyatt of The Tennessean reports that the NFL has fined Tennessee Titans defensive coordinator Chuck Cecil $20,000, and Titans defensive end William Haynes $5,000, for their action after a roughing the passer penalty was called on Hayes during the Titans' 42-17 loss to the San Diego Chargers on Christmas night.

Cecil was fined the $20K for verbally abusing a game official after Hayes was flagged for rouging Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers.

By being flagged, Hayes was already inline to receive a $5,000, which was handed down once the league determined the flagged was legitimately thrown.
