Mike Pouncey's troubles continue.
The Miami Dolphins center wasn't ejected for punching the helmet of Buccaneers defensive lineman Akeem Spence, but he was fined for his ill behavior in Monday night's 22-19 loss to Tampa Bay.
NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reported Friday that Pouncey was docked $7,875 for the swipe, which drew an unnecessary roughness flag and added to an ugly month for Miami.
Here's the rest of this week's fines, per Rapoport:
» In the same game, Dolphins linebacker Philip Wheeler was fined $21,000 for roughing the passer after he struck Bucs quarterback Mike Glennon in the head and neck area.
»Bernard Pollard, like clockwork, is back on this list. The Titans safety was fined $15,750 for unnecessary roughness, the result of throttling Chad Henne as the Jacksonville quarterback was sliding to a stop. Four separate hits have now cost Pollard $67,750 on the season, per The Tennessean.
»Bengals defensive end Carlos Dunlap was fined $15,750 for a horse-collar tackle in Sunday's overtime loss to the Baltimore Ravens.
