CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Carolina Panthers receiver Keyshawn Johnson was fined $5,000 by the NFL on Friday for
throwing his helmet late in the fourth quarter of this week's loss at
Philadelphia.
Johnson was upset that pass interference wasn't called on Eagles
cornerback Lito Sheppard, who was
covering Johnson and intercepted Jake Delhomme's
pass in the end zone with 25 seconds left to preserve the Eagles' 27-24
win.
Johnson yelled at the official, then took off his helmet and threw it to
the ground. It rolled about 20 yards along the sideline.
