Bruce Carter, Ernie Sims fined by NFL
November, 15, 2013

IRVING, Texas -- The bye week is a good thing for the Dallas Cowboys, considering their injuries, but it will be costly for linebackers Bruce Carter and Ernie Sims.
Carter was fined $15,570 for a horse-collar of New Orleans Saints running back Darren Sproles, and Sims was fined $7,875 for a face mask of Saints running back Mark Ingram. Both penalties came on New Orleans’ third-quarter drive that ended on Ingram’s four-yard touchdown run. The Saints did not throw a pass on the eight-play drive.
Cornerback Orlando Scandrick was not fined for a second-quarter facemask penalty.
Carter and Sims are the fourth and fifth Cowboys to be fined this season. Dez Bryant was fined $7,875 for a throat-slash gesture vs. the St. Louis Rams. Safety Barry Church was fined $5,250 for throwing a football into the stands after his touchdown vs. the New York Giants. Linebacker Cameron Lawrence was fined $21,000 for a blindside block against theWashington Redskins.
