NEW YORK – Houston Texans wide receiver Andre Johnson and Tennessee Titans cornerback Cortland Finnegan were each fined $25,000 but escaped suspension from the National Football League for their ugly on-field brawl last weekend, an NFL spokesman confirmed on Tuesday.
Johnson and Finnegan were both ejected from Sunday's game, won 20-0 by the Houston Texans, after they began trading blows in the fourth quarter.
"I'm happy that I'm not suspended, but at the same time, I'm not happy about my actions," Johnson told the Texans website (www.houstontexans.com).
Titans coach Jeff Fisher had told reporters after the game that it was an unfortunate incident but Finnegan's actions did not warrant a suspension.
