New Orleans Saints linebacker Marvin Mitchell was fined $10,000 by the NFL for his major face mask penalty against the Carolina Panthers' Mike Goodson last Sunday. Mitchell was penalized 15 yards for the face mask, which occurred on a kickoff return during the fourth quarter, which nearly led to a game-winning field goal drive for the Panthers. Mitchell was drafted by the Saints in the seventh round of the 2007 NFL Draft and played college football at Tennessee.
