The NFL didn’t fine Broncos linebacker Von Miller for taunting, but they got one of his teammates for unnecessary roughness. Safety Will Parks lost $9,115, according to Nicki Jhabvala of The Denver Post.

Parks drew a 15-yard penalty in the first quarter after Bills fullback Mike Tolbert called for a fair catch on a kickoff. Buffalo ended up scoring a touchdown on the drive.

Parks played 27 defensive snaps and 26 on special teams against the Bills. He made one tackle on defense and one on special teams.

Miller’s 15-yard penalty in the fourth quarter led to a field goal, increasing the Bills’ lead to 10 points.
