INDIANAPOLIS -- The NFL has fined Indianapolis Colts defensive end Dwight Freeney $20,000 for comments he made after last Saturday's 23-17 overtime loss at San Diego.

The league announced the fine Friday.

In a post-game interview with Yahoo.com, Freeney used two expletives in criticizing the officiating at the end of the game. Indianapolis was called for three defensive penalties on the Chargers' winning drive in overtime.
