Lang fined by league for hit in Cowboys game

Packers OL T.J. Lang has been fined $8,268 by the league for his personal foul penalty in Sunday's divisional playoff against the Cowboys, ESPN.com's Rob Demovsky reports.

Lang knocked Cowboys DT Nick Hayden over in the contest's third quarter, resulting in a flag and a 15-yard loss for Green Bay. The incident sparked a minor scuffle between the two teams, though Lang was the only one to get penalized on it.

The play essentially ruined the Packers' drive, and can be blamed for the fact they were forced to settle for a field goal on that possession.

Lang, however, has claimed he didn't think the hit was late.
