Seahawks player Tariq Woolen fined for taunting ahead of Super Bowl

Seattle Seahawks defensive back Tariq Woolen was fined $17,398 Saturday for a taunting penalty during the NFC championship game against the Los Angeles Rams. 

Woolen's penalty came at a critical point with less than three minutes in the third quarter. After the Seahawks stopped the Rams on third down with an 11-point lead, it appeared Seattle would get an opportunity to put the game out of reach. 

But Woolen jawed at the Rams bench while backpedaling with his hands behind his back after the play.
