Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Hines Ward has been fined $5,000 by the NFL for a hit during a Monday night game against the Ravens on Sept. 29.

Known as much for his crushing hits on defenders as he is for scoring touchdowns, Ward was not penalized on the play during the Steelers' 23-20 overtime win.

The league deemed the play "unnecessary roughness."

Safety Ryan Clark was also fined $7,500 for a helmet-to-helmet hit on wide receiver Matt Jones during the Steelers' 26-21 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday night.

Both fines come in the same week that linebacker James Harrison was fined $20,000 for criticizing a call made by officials during the Jacksonville game.
