Six players fined

DETROIT Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford and five other players were fined a total of US$62,500 for incidents in last Sunday's ill-tempered game between the Lions and Chicago Bears, the National Football League said on Friday.

Stafford was fined US$7,500 for unnecessary roughness after he grabbed Bears defensive back DJ Moore by the helmet in the fourth quarter, an NFL spokesman said. Moore drew a US$15,000 fine for striking Stafford in retaliation. He also was ejected from the game, won 37-13 by the Bears. Detroit defensive tackle Nick Fairley was also docked US$15,000. Guard Rob Sims and defensive end Kyle Vanden Bosch of the Lions were each fined US$7,500 and Bears receiver Earl Bennett was assessed a US$10,000 fine.
