Jets linebacker Jamien Sherwood wasn’t penalized for his helmet-to-helmet hit that knocked Patriots rookie quarterback Drake Maye out of last week’s game, but he was fined.

Sherwood’s wallet took a hit to the tune of $6,354 for unnecessary roughness (use of the helmet). Maye took the helmet-to-helmet hit as he slid at the end of an 18-yard scramble.
