NFL Network's Michael Robinson and Mike Garafolo discuss how far they think the New England Patriots can go in the playoffs.

Julian Edelman's physical play, deemed unnecessary by officials, has cost him more than a few bucks.

The NFL fined Edelman a total of $63,504 for three separate plays in Sunday's win over the Buffalo Bills, all for unnecessary roughness, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported. The three individual fines of $10,026, $26,739 and $26,739 make up the total.

Oddly enough, Edelman was also fined $26,739 in November for an unnecessary roughness penalty incurred in New England's first meeting with Buffalo.

Other fines from Week 16:

  1. Texans linebacker Jadeveon Clowney was fined $40,110 for a roughing the passer penalty against the Philadelphia Eagles, NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reported.
  1. Cowboys defensive end Randy Gregory was fined $20,054 for roughing the passer against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Pelissero reported.
  1. Jets defensive end Leonard Williams $43,449 total between two fines for unnecessary roughness ($10,026), unsportsmanlike conduct (which led to his ejection and a $13,369 fine), and roughing the passer ($20,054), per Pelissero.
  1. Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield was fined $10,026 for unsportsmanlike conduct for a gesture he made near the sideline in Cleveland's win over Cincinnati, Pelissero reported.
  1. Bears receivers Anthony Miller and Josh Bellamy, and 49ers cornerback Richard Sherman were each fined $10,026 for unnecessary roughness, which led to each of their ejections following a sideline altercation. San Francisco safety Marcell Harris was also fined $10,026 for his hit on Mitchell Trubisky, which sparked the incident, Rapoport reported.
  1. Jaguars linebacker Telvin Smith was fined $10,026 for unsportsmanlike conduct drawn by taunting while scoring a touchdown, Pelissero reported.
  1. Redskins cornerback Josh Norman (unnecessary roughness) and Titans tackle Taylor Lewan (unsportsmanlike conduct) were each fined $10,026 for their contentious interaction following Tennessee's win over Washington, Pelissero reported.
