The NFL has fined Redskins standout pass rusher Brian Orakpo $15,000 for a helmet-to-helmet hit on Eagles quarterback Michael Vick in last Sunday’s game according to Mike Jones of the Washington Post.
Orakpo was flagged for unnecessary roughness after he hit Vick just after the quarterback threw the ball away in the end zone during the first quarter of Washington’s 20-13 loss.
