The NFL has fined St. Louis Rams coach Jim Haslett for walking onto the field and swearing at officials during a 35-16 defeat to the San Francisco 49ers in Week 11.
The $20,000 fine was for "going onto the field and directing profanities at a game official" with 1:36 remaining in the third quarter, according to the NFL. Officials penalized the Rams for unsportsmanlike conduct. Quarterback Marc Bulger had just completed a 29-yard pass to receiver Donnie Avery. It's unclear what raised Haslett's alleged ire.
The fine ranks as the second-largest known fine levied against a Rams player or coach this season. Guard Richie Incognito incurred a $25,000 fine for yelling profanities at officials during an overtime victory at Washington earlier this season.
