Goode will appeal the fine. The event occurred early in the fourth quarter when Goode was rushing the passer. Goode's hand hit Tolzien's helmet, and the referees threw a flag for roughing the passer. It was a 15 yard penalty. Here's a GIF of the play:

Goode, usually a backup and special teams contributor, was forced to play in place of injured starter Mychal Kendricks.
