Vikings' Favre fined $10K for crack-back block

NEW YORK -- Minnesota Vikings quarterback Brett Favre was fined $10,000 by the NFL on Friday for his crack-back block on Houston defensive back Eugene Wilson in a preseason game.

 

The play happened on Monday night at Houston in Favre's first extensive action since he signed with the Vikings on Aug. 18.

 

The 39-year-old lined up at receiver in Minnesota's version of the wildcat offense. Rookie receiver Percy Harvin took the snap and started running around the left end in Favre's direction. Despite playing with sore ribs, the quarterback crouched and threw his body at Wilson's legs to cut him down.
