ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- The NFL fined Buffalo Bills linebacker Brandon Spikes $8,268 for an unnecessary roughness penalty in Sunday's win against the Chicago Bears.

On a 2nd-and-1 play in the third quarter, Spikes lowered his shoulder into the upper body of Bears wide receiver Santonio Holmes, after Holmes had already been tackled following a 13-yard catch. The Bills were penalized 11 yards and the Bears scored a touchdown on the next play.

The $8,268 fine is NFL's standard fine for the first offense. A second offense this season will trigger a $16,537 fine.

Tight end Scott Chandler, who also was flagged for unnecessary roughness in Sunday's game, was not fined.
