ESPN - Minnesota defense end Jared Allen has been fined $25,000 for his hit on Packers' quarterback Aaron Rodgers on Nov. 9.

Moments after Rodgers released the ball, Allen hit him high and knocked him down, drawing a roughing-the-passer penalty.

Allen was fined $50,000 for two low hits in Week 9 on Texans quarterback Matt Schaub, who could miss the rest of the season as a result of the hits.

"We play a violent sport. We know that and we willingly sign up for it," Allen said earlier this season. "We don't ever purposely go out to hurt anybody, ever." [READ]
