NEW YORK -- Pittsburgh safety Troy Polamalu, the 2010 NFL Defensive Player of the Year, has been fined $10,000 for talking on a cell phone while in the bench area.

Possession of cell phones in the bench area during a game is prohibited beginning 90 minutes before kickoff through the end of the game.
