Vince Wilfork fined $8268

While “deflate-gate” continues to dominate the headlines when it comes to the New England Patriots, there is actually other news concerning the team. According to NFL’s Media’s Ian Rapoport Friday, Patriots defensive tackle will be a little light in the pocket when he takes off for Arizona on Tuesday. Wilfork was fined $8, 268 for a late hit in the second quarter of Sunday’s AFC title game.

Ironically, it was Wilfork’s 15-yard penalty that helped lead Andrew Luck and the Colts to their only score in the 45-7 rout at Gillette Stadium. It was after that same game that Wilfork became a real-life hero for his quick reaction in pulling a woman from her car after it had been overturned and trapper her.
