NEW YORK (AP) - Bears safety Chris Conte has been fined $21,000 by the NFL for hitting Panthers receiver Brandon LaFell in the head and neck area when LaFell was defenseless during last Sunday's game. Conte has appealed.

     Dowtin's hit to the head area of Dolphins quarterback Matt Moore got him fined and Martin used his helmet to strike Colts rookie quarterback Andrew Luck in the shoulder.
