Falcons defensive back Brian Poole has been fined more than $40,000 for roughing the passer penalty and an horse collar tackle that he made in the 43-37 overtime loss to the Saints.
Poole said he plans to appeal both of the fines.
Poole is also likely to hear from the NFL office for an unnecessary roughness penalty he received after a helmet hit on Bengals running back Mark Walton in the third quarter of the 37-36 loss on Sunday.
He was fined $20,054 for roughing the passer hit on Drew Brees and $20,054 for the horse collar tackle of backup quarterback Taysom Hill after he gashed the Falcons for a 35-yard gain.
