NEW YORK, Oct. 30 (UPI) -- Dallas Cowboys safety Darren Woodson was fined $75,000 by the NFL Wednesday for a devastating hit on Seattle Seahawks receiver Darrell Jackson.
In the fourth quarter of Seattle's 17-14 win Sunday, Woodson delivered a helmet-to-helmet hit on Jackson, who suffered a concussion and later had a seizure in the locker room.
Woodson was called for unnecessary roughness and the 15-yard penalty helped the drive that resulted in Rian Lindell kicking a game-winning 20-yard field goal with 25 seconds remaining.
NFL director of football operations Gene Washington issued the fine and noted that another helmet-to-helmet hit by Woodson likely would result in a suspension and/or additional discipline.
Dallas (3-5) visits the Detroit Lions on Sunday.
On Tuesday, the NFL rejected the appeal of San Diego Chargers strong safety Rodney Harrison, who will serve a one-game suspension for a second illegal hit this season.
