New England Patriots

Mankins confirms fine

Logan Mankins confirmed during an interview on WEEI this afternoon that he was hit with a $5,000 fine by the NFL for unnecessary roughness during the Patriots’ loss to the Broncos Sunday.

The Patriots guard was penalized 15 yards for unsportsmanlike conduct at the 9:52 mark of the second quarter after a Kevin Faulk 3-yard gain.

The Patriots ended up punting from their own 47-yard line as the drive stalled. They led, 10-0, at the time, but ended up losing, 20-17, in overtime.
