Vikings safety Sendejo fined for rough play

Vikings

safety Andrew Sendejo has been fined $53,482 (Dh196,439) by the NFL for his hit during a play in Minnesota’s tie at Green Bay last Sunday.

Sendejo was penalised 15 yards for unnecessary roughness after tackling Packers wide receiver Davante Adams in the third quarter. The safety knocked into Adams with his right shoulder just after Xavier Rhodes made initial contact. Vikings coach Mike Zimmer said on Wednesday that Sendejo was told by an official after the play that he did everything right on the tackle. (AP)
