Viking's Allen Fined

Defensive end Jared Allen was fined $50,000 Thursday by the NFL for two plays considered "roughing the passer" according to the National Football League, reported the StarTribune.com.
“In both instances, he struck the opposing quarterback below the knee area,� an NFL spokesperson said in an email.
Houston quarterback Matt Schaub tore his medial collateral ligament on one of the hits, reported the StarTribune.com.
This is the second time this season Allen has been fined by the NFL. Following the game against Chicago on October 19, he was fined $5000 for "piling on."
