OAKLAND, Calif., Nov. 22 (UPI) -- Oakland Raiders defensive tackle Richard Seymour has been fined $25,000 for hitting Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, an NFL official said Monday.
League spokesman Corry Rush confirmed Seymour was fined but not suspended for his actions during the Raiders' 35-3 loss to Pittsburgh Sunday, the Oakland Tribune reported.
In the incident, Seymour was scuffling with Pittsburgh guard Chris Kemoeatu when Roethlisberger approached the pair. Seymour pushed his open right hand into the quarterback's face and Roethlisberger fell to the ground.
Seymour was ejected from the game after drawing an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty.
The Tribune noted that the Raiders lineman drew two disciplinary fines last year, including a $10,000 assessment for a hit after the whistle against the Cleveland Browns.
