Titans' Cecil fined $20,000
From Jim Wyatt of The Tennessean:
The NFL fined Titans defensive coordinator Chuck Cecil $20,000 for prohibited verbal abuse of a game official during last Friday's 42-17 loss to the Chargers at LP Field.
Titans defensive end William Hayes had just been flagged for roughing Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers when an official flagged Cecil for saying something. The Titans were penalized another 15 yards for unsportsmanlike conduct.
"It's something between me and the league,' Cecil said after Thursday's practice. "Obviously it was a misunderstanding and something we'll get cleared up.'
