Breer: Week 2 predictions

Can the high-flying Falcons and tough-as-nails Niners win in Week 2? Albert Breer thinks so. See who else he likes. **More ...**

The punishment will end there. The NFL told Around the League on Friday that Young will not be fined for the infraction. Some other noteworthy fine news:

» Cincinnati Bengals safety Taylor Mays was fined $21,000 for unnecessary roughness. He made helmet to helmet contact on a Ravens tight end Ed Dickson, a defenseless player, on a pass play.

» Denver Broncos safety Rahim Moore was fined $21,000 for unnecessary roughness. He unnecessarily struck Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders in the head and neck area.

» Houston Texans defensive end Antonio Smith was fined $21,000 for kicking Miami Dolphins guard Richie Incognito. Smith was apparently retaliating against Incognito for wrenching Smith's ankle, but the league did not punish Incognito.

» Jeff McLane of the Phiadelphia Inquirer reports that Philadelphia Eagles defensive end Jason Babin was fined $15,750 for "unnecessarily" driving Browns quarterback Brandon Weeden into ground.
