Kenoy Kennedy, the Denver Broncos' hard-hitting strong safety, will appeal a $30,000 fine, the latest in a series of escalating NFL punishments.
Kennedy was fined for a helmet-leading tackle last weekend against Indianapolis.
"I didn't expect it, but there is nothing I can do about it. Just appeal it and go about my business," Kennedy said.
Kennedy was called for a personal foul when he lowered his helmet and hit Colts receiver Reggie Wayne on an overthrown ball in the Broncos' 31-17 victory Sunday.
"They said I led with my head. But how do you tackle? I've never seen a guy go up and butt a guy with his chest. I don't know what to do," Kennedy said. "Maybe I should drop-kick them, or do something like that. I don't know."
NFL spokesman Greg Aiello told The Associated Press on Thursday he could not comment on the matter.
Last season, the NFL fined Kennedy a total of $17,500 for two tackles and suspended him for one game for a third. The suspension cost him $25,294 in lost pay.
