Packers linebacker Clay Matthews has been fined $17,363 by the NFL for his hit on Rams quarterback Nick Foles in the first quarter of Green Bay's 24-10 win on Sunday, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported Friday.
The play did not draw a flag, but Rams head coach Jeff Fisher felt it should have.
"Clay hit him with the crown of his helmet, right in the chest," Fisher said. "It goes back to the referee (Brad Allen) is the one who's going to make that call, and he doesn't see the front of the quarterback. He's (positioned) to (Foles') throwing hand.
"So Brad couldn't see it. I clearly think it was roughing because of the crown of the helmet to the chest. But from his perspective, he couldn't see the contact. It was kind of one of those things that happens. Sometimes you get those calls. Sometimes they're right and sometimes they're wrong."
Foles did not express an opinion of the play. He spoke instead about what was going through his head during the play.
"That's not for me to say," Foles said about the legality of the hit. "I don't make those determinations. I really, at that time, was just worried about the next play and keep going. I know I've seen (the play), but that's not for me to determine."
