Steelers TE Matt Spaeth Fined $7,875 For Hit On Packers LB Jamari Lattimore

According to Scott Brown of ESPN.com, Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Matt Spaeth has been fined $7,875 for an unnecessary roughness penalty that he was called for in the game last Sunday against the Green Bay Packers.

Following the interception by Packers linebacker A.J. Hawk at the end of the third quarter, Spaeth hit Packers linebacker Jamari Lattimore from behind at the end of the play. Spaeth was flagged 15 yards for unnecessary roughness as a result and you can see an animated gif of the hit below.

So far, that is the only fine to come out of that game. There were two roughing the passes penalties in the game and one was on Steelers defensive end Cameron Heyward.
