Carpenter being hit is 100% Sherman's fault. The following lack of penalties and proper field position change is 100% the refs fault

It just proves that the whistle was too late. It wasn't blown until after Sherman touched the ball.
As far as the NFL fining Sherman, that is just standard procedure for a league that covers that butts to media reaction.
