| | | Denver Broncos linebacker Von Miller and New England Patriots safety Patrick Chung were each fined $7,500 for infractions during last Saturday night's AFC Divisional Playoffs game, Shalise Manza Young of The Boston Globe reports. Chung was penalized for unnecessary roughness on a second-down running play midway through the second quarter, while Miller was flagged for unnecessary roughness after throwing a shoulder into Patriots center Dan Connolly following a third-down punt by quarterback Tom Brady. Miller, the No. 2 overall pick in the 2011 NFL Draft, earned $14.148 million in base salary and his signing bonus in 2011, while Chung made $575,000. Regardless of what a player earns during the regular season, players competing in the divisional playoffs earn $22,000 for that game. Source: Mac's Football Blog
