Cameron Jordan Fined $10.5K for Throwing Punch During Saints' Loss to Chiefs

New Orleans Saints defensive end Cameron Jordan was fined for throwing a punch at Kansas City Chiefs guard Andrew Wylie during the Chiefs' victory Sunday.

Per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, Jordan was fined $10,500 for unnecessary roughness.

He was ejected from the game following the incident. The Chiefs scored on the next play and added a two-point conversion for a 14-point lead with 13:44 remaining in the 32-29 win.

The 31-year-old had three tackles, a sack and a forced fumble. A Pro Bowl selection for the past three years, Jordan has played in every regular season game since he joined the Saints in 2011 when the team drafted him at No. 24 out of California.

Through 15 games this season, Jordan has 50 tackles, 16 quarterback hits and 7.5 sacks.

After the ejection, he sent a postgame tweet acknowledging the incident and taking responsibility.

The ejection was the 21st of the season, which is more than in any season since at least 2001, per ESPN Stats & Info (via ESPN's Kevin Seifert).

On Tuesday, Jordan told NFL Network's Jane Slater that his wife, former Rutgers basketball player Nikki Speed, had her water break before kickoff and gave birth to their fourth child, Chanel, two hours after he was ejected.
