NEW YORK (AP) - Three of the NFL’s best defensive players, Bobby Wagner, Jadeveon Clowney and Chandler Jones, have been fined $20,054 each by the league for hits in last week’s games.
Clowney and Chandler were docked for roughing-the-passer calls, while Wagner was penalized for a facemask penalty.
Those were not the largest fines announced by the league Saturday.
