Falcons' Deion Jones Fined $15K for Hit on Cowboys' Dak Prescott in Week 2

Atlanta Falcons linebacker Deion Jones was fined for his roughing the passer penalty on Dak Prescott in Week 2.

Per NFL Network's Tom Pelissero, the NFL fined Jones $15,000 for his hit late in the third quarter, which briefly knocked the Dallas Cowboys quarterback out of the game.

On 1st-and-goal from the Atlanta 7-yard line, Prescott completed a pass to tight end Dalton Schultz for five yards as he took a hit to the head from Jones.

Prescott was removed from the game and evaluated by the medical staff, but he missed only two plays and scored a rushing touchdown on third down to help cut Dallas' deficit to 29-24.

In the fourth quarter, Prescott led two touchdown drives and the march to the game-winning field goal in the Cowboys' 40-39 win. They outscored the Falcons 30-10 in the second half.

The two-time Pro Bowler hasn't been listed on the injury report this week.

Jones finished the game with seven tackles, half a sack and two quarterback hits.
