The NFL informed Lions safety Tracy Walker that he would be getting fined $12,500 for comments he made after Monday nights loss to the Packers.

No additional fines were levied against Walker for the helmet-to-helmet hit against receiver Geronimo Allison.

What were the comments made?

Walker said, "Just totally pissed off right now. It is what it is, disappointed, hurt. We had that game. We should have won. Honestly the end result. I feel like we could have had a better game. We were supposed to be victorious in that game. Green Bay came to play. There were some awful, awful calls, but we need to play through them. We didn’t, obviously, so we came up short."

Regarding the controversial call, Walker told reporters, "It was an awful call. I felt like I went for the ball and just so happened we collided, but I was looking for the ball. It was an awful call by them. It is what it is, though."
