NEW YORK — The NFL has fined St. Louis wide receiver Brian Quick $8,268 for unnecessary roughness in last Sunday’s win over Seattle.

Quick was penalized at the end of the first quarter after Rams running back Tre Mason lost 2 yards. His fine was announced by the league on Friday.

Earlier this week, Colts linebacker Erik Walden was fined $27,562 after being ejected for making contact with an official during Sunday’s victory over Cincinnati.

Walden said he didn’t mean to bump umpire Bruce Stritesky late in the first half. Instead, Walden said he was trying to move around Stritesky so he could hear and see which Bengals player was talking to him.
