NEW YORK, Oct. 1 (UPI) -- Tennessee cornerback Cortland Finnegan was one of five players fined by the NFL Friday for violent play during last week's Titans-New York Giants game.
Finnegan grabbed New York receiver Steve Smith by the helmet and threw him to the ground. Tennessee defensive end Jason Babin was fined because of a late hit while leading with the crown of his helmet.
