NFL fines Saints' Kenny Vaccaro, Alex Anzalone $24,309 each for Week 1 penalties

Two New Orleans Saints defenders are lighter in the wallet Friday after hearing from the NFL.

The league fined safety Kenny Vaccaro and rookie linebacker Alex Anzalone $24,309 each for unnecessary roughness penalties in Week One's contest against the Minnesota Vikings, according to a league spokesman.

Vaccaro's penalty occurred at the :22 mark of the second quarter, where he appeared to lead with his helmet before leveling Vikings wide receiver Stefon Diggs.

Anzaolne drew his penalty at the 4:00 mark of the first quarter, when he appeared to hit Vikings running back Dalvin Cook in the head area on a bang-bang play during an incomplete pass.

The infraction arrived three plays after rookie safety Marcus Williams was flagged for a late hit out of bounds. Williams was not fined by the league.

Anzalone's and Vaccaro's infractions occurred during scoring drives by the Vikings.

I can see the fine on Vaccaro's hit, but Anzalone was so incidental and non-intentional that Anzalone being fined is yet another example of there being no common sense in the Commissioner's office...

As owner of the NFL... that is exactly how I pay him. Isn't that obvious?
