Von Miller fined $15,750 for roughing Matt Schaub
Denver Post
The punishment wasnt nearly Joe Mays-severe, but still Broncos outside linebacker Von Miller got dinged pretty good by the league office.
Miller was fined $15,750 for a roughing the passer penalty he incurred during the Broncos 31-25 loss to the Houston Texans.
No comment, Miller said, adding he would appeal.
Specifically, the league said Miller unnecessarily drove the quarterback to the ground. The quarterback was Matt Schaub, who lost part of his ear after his helmet flew off from a blast by Mays, the Broncos middle linebacker.
Mays was not only fined $50,000 for the hit, he received a one-game suspension and will not play Sunday against the Oakland Raiders.
