2017 Week 10 Fine Blotter

First, a catch-up from last week:
  • Carolina Panthers: Kurt Coleman: $24,309 for a helmet-to-helmet vs. Atlanta.
And now to this week's fun and merriment...
  • Vontaze Burfict was NOT fined for contact with an official. (At that point, suspend the official involved!)
  • Seattle Seahawks: Sheldon Richardson: $18,231 for roughing the passer – he's appealing what he calls “extortion”.
  • Minnesota Vikings: Stefon Diggs: $12,154 for using the goalpost as a prop – illegal celebration. This makes Diggs a TWO-TIME LOSER in two consecutive weeks. Fined last week for throwing a football into the stands.
  • Minnesota Vikings: Linval Joseph: $18,231 for roughing the passer. That makes Joseph a TWO-TIME LOSER.
  • It also makes the Minnesota Vikings over $200,000 in team fines, meaning they have well passed the second threshold, fined $50,000, an additional $19,414 for the first part of the dollar-for-dollar phase, and all fines until the end of the season are now doubled as team fines as well, dollar for dollar.
  • New York Jets: Another TWO-TIME LOSER, and this fine is doubled: Buster Skrine $48,620 for hitting a defenseless receiver. Skrine is the most-penalized defensive player in the league and is second overall.
  • Carolina Panthers: Daryl Worley: $9,115 for unnecessary roughness.
  • Jacksonville Jaguars: Marquise Lee: $9,115 for taunting.
  • Jacksonville Jaguars: Ben Koyack: $9,115 for a crackback block.
  • New York Giants: Darian Thompson: $9,115 for a late hit – on the very first play of the game.
  • Arizona Cardinals: Karlos Dansby: $18,231 for roughing the passer – a hit which has led to a discussion as to whether Seattle followed league protocols on evaluating Russell Wilson.
  • Cleveland Browns: Duke Johnson: $12,154 for unsportsmanlike conduct.
