Norman only found out about the fine Sunday morning, as he joined NFL on FOX during the Redskins' bye week. He asked Jay Glazer to explain why the fine was so severe, and called the judgment "excessive."

Former NFL VP of Officiating Mike Pereira explained that had Norman not identified the official by number, he might have avoided a fine altogether.
