Are you kidding me?
Wright fined $5,000 for roughing the passer - Extra Points - Boston.com
Edit: I messed up the subject, but I imagine "Rouging" the passer would result in fines AND an epic beatdown. Unless it maybe it was Jeff Garcia.

"I received mine yesterday for $5,000," said Wright. "It was just saying that I had touched his facemask. That was about it. I'm going to appeal it. I watched it again yesterday. I really just went to grab his shoulder, slipped off his shoulder and just barely touched his facemask. That's not roughing the passer in my eyes. I wasn't trying to bring him down by his facemask or anything like that it just slipped off and hit him.
"I think it's wrong that they are calling it that close. We're just trying to get him down. I don't know much more we can do other than just wrap him up and wait for the whistle. [Note:That is exactly what Wright did to Flacco on his second sack.] The guy is trying to get away from you. It's tough. I'm going to try to appeal it. It's interesting what they do with the Ravens, but I do my best to take care of my business."
The Ravens had a pair of roughing-the-passer penalties called on them for hits on Tom Brady, but there is no word yet on fines.
