Washington Redskin defensive end Dexter Manley says the NFL has fined him $2,000 for a late hit on Chicago quarterback Doug Flutie in the NFC playoff game at Chicago Jan. 3.
Manley jumped offsides on the play and, after the whistle blew, ran into the Bears’ backfield and tackled Flutie. He was penalized for encroachment and unnecessary roughness at the time.
“I guess they want to make sure these things don’t happen,” Manley told the Washington Post. “I felt bad for what I did and I think it was right that they penalized me.”
