LOS ANGELES (Ticker) -- Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker James Harrison has been fined $20,000 for comments he made following Sunday's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars, according to a Tuesday report on FOXSports.com.

Harrison was called for a personal foul when he took down David Garrard after the Jaguars' quarterback released a pass early in the fourth quarter.

"Ridiculous call," Harrison said after the Steelers' 26-21 victory. "You don't make a call like that. Unless (the official) might have money on it."

The 2007 Pro Bowler will join New Orleans Saints coach Sean Payton and Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones on the list of those that have been fined for comments critical of NFL officials this season.

Payton was fined $15,000 while Jones was docked $25,000.
