The NFL wasn’t in an overly generous mood on this Christmas week.

A total of 16 players were fined by the NFL, including the Antonio Winfield infractions that Florio wrote about earlier.

The biggest remaining fines including Falcons defensive end Kroy Biermann, who was fined $15,000 for a helmet-to-helmet hit on Seahawks quarterback Charlie Whitehurst. The league also fined Bengals linebacker Dhani Jones $15,000 for a hit on Browns quarterback Colt McCoy.

Ravens Ed Reed was fined $10,000 for hitting Saints quarterback Drew Brees in the face. Chicago linebacker Brian Urlacher was charged $10,000 for hitting Vikings tight end Visanthe Shiancoe in the neck and head area. It was Urlacher’s second violation.

The complete list of fines can be seen right here, and one will please Andy Reid. Giants linebacker Jonathan Goff was fined $7,500 for unnecessary roughness for hitting Philadelphia QB Michael Vick out of bounds.
