Here's who else stood by their phones (and checkbooks) Friday.

»Carolina Panthers defensive tackle Dwan Edwards fined $8,268 for a late hit on Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford.

»Pittsburgh Steelers safeties Troy Polamalu and Mike Mitchellwere not fined for their respective hits that drew penalties last week against the Baltimore Ravens.
