NFL fines Quinn for hit on Suggs

BEREA, Ohio (AP) -- Cleveland Browns quarterback Brady Quinn has been fined by the NFL for his chop block on Baltimore's Terrell Suggs.

After throwing an interception in Monday night's 16-0 loss to the Ravens, Quinn dived at Suggs' knees while trying to bring down cornerback Chris Carr, who had picked him off. Suggs had to leave the game and could miss significant playing time.

Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis accused Quinn of a cheap shot.

Quinn said he received a letter from the league on Wednesday but would not disclose the size of his fine, saying only that it was "a good amount." Quinn insists he was not trying to hurt Suggs and has apologized to him and the Ravens.
