Rodgers fined for facemask that led to Alford's epic flop

Aaron Rodgers will have to pay the price for a rare penalty flag he received in last week's NFC Championship Game.

The Green Bay Packers quarterback was fined $9,115 for a facemask violation against Atlanta Falcons cornerback Robert Alford, according to Rob Demovsky of ESPN.

Though seeing a star signal-caller draw a 15-yard personal foul call is rare, Alford's theatrics after the late-game sequence will forever overshadow Rodgers' infraction.

In case you missed it, here's a look at the valiant attempt to bait the officials into another flag.
