Packers LB Clay Matthews has been fined $22,050 for his hit on Russell Wilson in last week's NFC Championship Game, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports.
Coming after Wilson had a pass intercepted by Ha Ha Clinton-Dix in the second quarter, Matthews blocked Wilson pretty aggressively, and the league has apparently thought it was excessive.
The knock has been labeled a cheap shot by some, but Matthews doesn't think so.
"I was just blocking whoever and it turned out to be the quarterback and obviously calls are going to go in their direction whether it was a blind-side hit or whatever," he told Rob Demovsky. "I'm just looking to pick up a block and unfortunately that's just how the game played out."

Jack - looked pretty cheap to me and hard to believe he didn't know it was our qb. Seems it got him all tuckered out since he was off the field citing exhaustion at the end. Alas ( for cheesesheads)
