Seattle Seahawks rookie cornerback Devon Witherspoon has been fined $10,927 for an unnecessary roughness penalty he had in Seattle’s 17-16 loss to the Los Angeles Rams on Nov. 19, per NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero

Witherspoon, who has already built a reputation for his aggressive and hard-hitting style of play, might have taken things a bit too far when he slammed Rams receiver Austin Trammell to the ground to complete a tackle.

That reverse slam?
The guy wouldn't go down so he had to do something.
I loved it..Spoon is the one bright spot on this team.

I wonder if Blythe got fined for his at the end of the half.

That was such a terrible penalty to do at that time. That probably cost us the game.
