Clay Matthews landed a big hit on Chicago Bears QB Brian Hoyer last Thursday. And that hit led to Hoyer breaking his arm and leaving the game.

The NFL reviewed the film and now Matthews has to pay the price. According to Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com, Matthews has been fined $18,231 for the hit on Hoyer. Cohen said the reason Matthews is being fined is the fact that he led with his helmet.

Although there were no roughing the passer penalties called on the Packers, the NFL deemed Matthews hit unnecessary which led to the fine. This is Matthews first roughing the passer fine of the season and if he gets hit with another roughing the passer foul, Matthews will be fined $36,464.
