Lions notes: Stephen Tulloch fined $21,000 for helmet-to-helmet hit against Titans

• Detroit Lions linebacker Stephen Tulloch received a fine of $21,000 from the NFL for his helmet-to-helmet hit in overtime on Tennessee Titans tight end Craig Stevens.
  
• Titans offensive lineman Leroy Harris received a fine of $10,000 for diving at Tulloch's legs on a late hit. Tulloch responded by shoving Harris, resulting in a flag, and Tulloch called out Harris over the late hit this week. Tulloch and Harris were actually teammates on the Titans and in college at North Carolina State, but there certainly doesn't appear to be any love lost between them.
• One more fine from last Sunday's game: Titans defensive end Scott Solomon received a $15,750 fine for a low hit on Matthew Stafford.
• Had the regular referees not returned this week, the referee for the Lions/Vikings game would have been the one from the Monday night mess in Seattle.

• Nick Fairley's lawyer is trying to get the Lions defensive tackle into a pretrial diversion program in order to prevent a criminal conviction from showing up on his record.
• The Lions tied a team record with 92 offensive snaps against the Titans, according to Dave Birkett.
