2017 Week 11 Fine/Suspension Blotter

So, on to the NFL Turkeys of the Week:
  • Baltimore Ravens:  Ryan Mallet:  $12,154 for unsportsmanlike conduct -- verbal abuse of the official.
  • Arizona Cardinals:  Larry Fitzgerald:  $24,309 for a crackback block.
  • After spending the first eight weeks of the season on the Clean Slate Club, the Cardinals have had fines in each of the last three games.
  • Seattle Seahawks:  Earl Thomas:  $24,309 for a helmet shot -- shoulder to helmet.
  • That is now five weeks with fines in a row for the Seahawks, and they also become the fifth NFL team to reach the first fine threshold -- that will cost them another $50,000.
  • Kansas City Chiefs:  Terrence Smith:  $24,309 for a defenseless player helmet to helmet.
  • Philadelphia Eagles:  Carson Wentz:  $9,115 for a low block.  Wentz is the MVP candidate quarterback!
  • After fines in the preseason and the first four weeks, that's the first fine for the Eagles since.
  • Washington Redskins:  Preston Smith
  • Miami Dolphins:  Kiko Alonso
  • Detroit Lions:  Jeremiah Valoaga
  • and Green Bay Packers:  Dean Lowry:  Each $18,231 for roughing the passer.
  • Valoaga (Week 8) and Alonso (Week 8) are now both TWO-TIME LOSERS.
  • Oakland Raiders:  Johnny Holton:  $12,154 for unsportsmanlike conduct.
  • Chicago Bears:  Kyle Long:  $9,115 for unnecessary roughness
  • New Orleans Saints:  P.J. Williams:  $9,115 for unnecessary roughness
  • Pittsburgh Steelers:  Marcus Gilbert:  $9,115 for a facemask, which the team is also fined for because of it's excessive final threshold fine record.  Pittsburgh is now also over $200,000 in team fines, and now barely has the fine "lead" over Minnesota.
  • And on the suspension end:  Gilbert has been SUSPENDED four games for a drug violation!  PED's, costs him $1.3 million!
  • Tampa Bay Buccaneers:  T.J. Ward:  $9,115 for taunting.
  • New York Giants:  Janoris Jenkins:  $6,016 for throwing a ball into the stands.
Thank you to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch for the article that collated most of those together.
