ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — Broncos cornerback Aqib Talib called it: He predicted the NFL would fine him for two penalties he committed during Super Bowl 50 on Sunday.
On Friday, the league announced fines totaling $26,044 for two personal fouls, according to NFL.com.
Talib was flagged for a face mask and taunting during the first half. He didn’t think much of one of the personal fouls.
“One of them was on our sideline; the guy was talking on our sideline. One I just did on purpose, you know, I just had to show him. It’s probably going to be a fine, but, hey, we’re world champs,” he said after the game.
The report also said Broncos defensive end Malik Jackson and Carolina Panthers quarterback Joe Webb were each fined $8,681 for unnecessary roughness.
The Broncos won, 24-10.
