The Green Bay Packers Coach Mike McCarthy is not happy with last weekend’s loss to the Minnesota Vikings, nor with the fines his players received from the league. Three players of the team were fined $5,000 dollars each for actions in the loss, making the team ranking top in numbers of players being fined.
The three are defensive tackle Johnny Jolly, cornerback Al Harris an rookie defensive tackle B.J. Raji. Jolly was fined on Friday for unnecessary roughness for head-butting running back Chester Taylor, who was wearing Vikings jersey; Harris was fined for unnecessary roughness for grabbing a helmet-opening to make a tackle; and Raji was fined $5,000 for a major facemask violation.
“Not very smart,” McCarthy said. “We had them stopped. Personal fouls in that situation and the way it happened, from my understanding, it’s unacceptable, to extend the drive like that and it cost us four points.”
Because of Jolly’s head-butting to Taylor, the Vikings had an automatic first down at the Packers 7 and scored a touchdown four plays later. But Jolly refused to tell what caused his aggressive act, only saying that he was playing on edge.
