Another Broncos defensive player received a fine for an illegal hit.

The NFL docked nose tackle Sylvester Williams $8,681 for a hit he landed on Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford in last week's win, per Troy Renck of The Denver Post. Williams was flagged for a 15-yard unnecessary roughness penalty as he sacked Stafford early in the third quarter.

The third-year pro told Renck he will appeal the fine.

He is the third Denver player to be fined in the last two games. Outside linebacker DeMarcus Ware and defensive end Malik Jackson were both hit with fines following the Week 2 victory over the Chiefs. There's a chance outside linebacker Von Miller will also received a letter from the league for a hit on Stafford in the second quarter that brought a roughing the passer flag.
