Washington Redskins WR Pierre Garcon avoids NFL fi

A delay of game penalty and internet infamy apparently were considered enough punishment for frustrated Washington Redskins wide receiver Pierre Garcon.

The NFL decided not to fine Garcon for kicking the ball across the end zone after an incompletion in the third quarter of Sunday's loss to the New York Giants.

"Losing is hard to deal with," Garcon said later. "I'm disappointed we're out of the playoffs. We play for the playoffs. It's disappointing."

Garcon had a season-high nine catches for 61 yards in the game. But Giants safety Will Hill stripped Garcon of the football to halt the final drive for the Redskins, who fell to 3-9.

Asked later why he kicked the football, Garcon said, "Because we didn't score a touchdown. We spotted 75 yards and didn't score a touchdown. I punted it harder."

Players fined for infractions in Week 13 revealed Friday included:
*Detroit Lions LB DeAndre Levy ($15,750 for striking a defenseless player in the head);
*Atlanta Falcons LB Sean Weatherspoon ($15,750 for roughing the passer);

*Green Bay Packers LB Clay Matthews ($15,750 for unnecessarily striking a defenseless player with his helmet);

*Minnesota Vikings TE Rhett Ellison ($7,875 for the face mask penalty that wiped out Blair Walsh's apparent winning field goal in overtime);

*Seattle Seahawks CB Richard Sherman ($7,875 for unnecessary roughness);
*Tennessee Titans LB Moise Fokou ($7,875 for unnecessary roughness);

Packers cornerback Tramon Williams, who revealed Thursday he was fined $26,250 for abusive conduct toward a game official, was not fined for kicking at a Lions player in the same game.

Vikings cornerback Chris Cook previously confirmed he, too, was fined $26,250, for contact with an official in Sunday's win against the Chicago Bears.
