It's been a rough season for Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers, made even tougher this week when the NFL fined him.

Rodgers was fined $11,255 for taking a late hit against the Bills.

The play occurred in the third quarter after Rodgers was intercepted by Bills cornerback Christian Benford.

On the return, Benford flew wide and Rodgers hit Benford late.

Rodgers was penalized for unnecessary roughness for the first time in his career.

In addition to Rodgers, Jets defensive end Michael Clemons was also fined $6,533 for unnecessary vandalism after jumping on the pile late in the Bills game.
