Linebacker Nick Roach has been fined $5,000 by the NFL, the result of a facemask penalty he was called for in Sunday's victory at Seattle.

Roach tackled Seahawks running back Edgerrin James in the third quarter, and got the facemask as he made the play.

Roach said he plans to appeal the fine.

He is the second player to be fined for a facemask penalty in the game. Defensive tackle Anthony Adams was also fined $5,000 for a facemask penalty.
