San Diego Chargers wide receiver Seyi Ajirotutu drew a $27,562 fine from the NFL on Friday after he came in contact with an official during a 37-0 loss to the Miami Dolphins.

Ajirotutu was ejected in the third quarter of last Sunday’s game for touching a referee during a altercation with a Dolphins player.

Also on Friday, the NFL fined Baltimore Ravens linebacker Courtney Upshaw $20,000 for a roughing-the-passer penalty against Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback and Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs $8,268 for unnecessary roughness on a late hit against Steelers running back LeGarrette Blount.

The league fined New York Jets cornerback Marcus Williams $8,268 for a horse-collar tackle on Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Dwayne Bowe and Carolina Panthers linebacker Thomas Davis $16,537 for unnecessary roughness while striking an opponent away from the play.

Suggs was fined earlier this season for wearing a gladiator helmet during player introductions.
