"Matthew Stafford still was waiting for notice from the proper authorities about a possible fine for stirring up trouble late in last Sunday's loss at Chicago.

And while the FedEx packages from the league office typically arrive Wednesday, Stafford said he'd heard from a more reliable source — Ndamukong Suh — that he might have to wait a bit longer to learn his fate.

"Suh told me they come on Thursday or Friday," Stafford joked. "He knows best."

Stafford already had been cleared by one legislative body, though, after his head-first takedown of Bears cornerback D.J. Moore during an interception return — and Moore's retaliatory hit after the whistle — sparked a brief fracas late in the 37-13 rout.
