The NFL fined Washington Redskins offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan $25,000 on Tuesday for berating an official at the end of the Redskins 38-31 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals, reports NFL.com.

It has been a busy week for the league office as they have already fined Denver Broncos head coach John Fox $30,000 and defensive coordinator Jack Del Rio $25,000 for their dealings with the replacement officials.

Shanahan received an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty during the final seconds of the fourth quarter after arguing with an official about a false start penalty that was called on Redskins tight end Fred Davis.  After the game, Shanahan followed the referees in the tunnel leading to the Redskins’ locker room and started cursing at the officials.

“I was frustrated, and in the process of trying to get some answers from the officials,” Shanahan said in the statement. “I conducted myself in the wrong way. I ask our players to hold themselves to a high standard and be accountable and I know that I’m accountable for my actions as well. I know that I need to handle those situations better in the future. My emotions got the best of me and I know its my responsibility. This will never happen again.”

The Washington Redskins may not have the No. 1 pick in the NFL draft later this month, but they remain confident that Robert Griffin III will fall to them in the No. 2 spot in April 26. So confident, in fact, that their offensive coordinator is already meeting regularly with RG3 to teach him the offense. According to Chick Hernandez of Comcast SportsNet:

While the Indianpolis Colts control their own destiny at No. 1 and maintain publicly that they haven’t reached a final decision, the Redskins firmly believe Stanford’s Andrew Luck is a lock to be the first overall pick.

The Redskins traded a bundle of four picks, including this year’s No. 6, to the St. Louis Rams on March 11 to acquire the No. 2. They’ve long been eyeing Griffin, the Baylor product who won the Heisman Trophy last fall, as their franchise quarterback of the future.
