ENGLEWOOD, Colo. - Denver Broncos safety Rahim Moore has been fined $21,000 by the NFL for his unnecessary roughness hit on Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders.

Moore, 22, was fined by the league for striking a defenseless receiver in the head and neck area in the Broncos 31-19 win on Sunday night.

This is Moore’s second fine as he was docked $20,000 for his hit on Buffalo Bills wide receiver Donald Jones during a preseason game in 2011.
