The NFL fined Minnesota Vikings rookie quarterback Joe Webb $5,000 for a "major" facemask penalty he committed during a run in Tuesday night's victory over the Philadelphia Eagles.
League spokesman Randall Liu confirmed the punishment Friday.
Webb was whistled near the end of the third quarter Tuesday night when he grabbed Eagles linebacker Jamar Chaney's facemask and pulled it down while reaching the first-down marker at the end of a third-and-7 scramble.
The 15-yard penalty wiped out the gain, and the Vikings had to punt one play later.
Webb passed for 195 yards and rushed for 31 yards and a touchdown in his first career start, leading the Vikings to a 24-14 victory.
The league announced several new fines Friday, including one on Tennessee Titans right tackle David Stewart, who was docked $20,000 for unnecessary roughness after hitting a Kansas City Chiefs player "late and away from the play on two separate instances" Sunday.
Indianapolis Colts linebacker Gary Brackett was fined $15,000 for roughing the passer, when he hit Oakland Raiders quarterback Jason Campbell in the head and neck area. Brackett was fined $10,000 earlier this season for a similar hit on Philadelphia's Michael Vick.
Raiders rookie defensive end Lamarr Houston was fined $12,500 for poking his finger in a Colts player's facemask near the eye.
New England Patriots linebacker Jerod Mayo must pay $10,000 for unnecessarily striking a defenseless Buffalo Bills receiver in the head and neck area on a pass play. It was unclear if the fine was for a hard hit on Steve Johnson or David Nelson, both in the second quarter.
New York Giants defensive back Terrell Thomas was fined $5,000 for unnecessary roughness, when he hit Green Bay Packers wide receiver Donald Driver late.
San Francisco 49ers defensive end Ray McDonald was docked $5,000 for hitting St. Louis Rams rookie quarterback Sam Bradford in the head.
