2017 Week 16 Fine Blotter

• Houston Texans:  DeAndre Hopkins:  $6,016 for throwing a ball into the stands.  He does not understand the safety ramifications involved.
• Houston Texans:  JaDeavon Clowney and
• Houston Texans:  Julian Davenport:  Both $9,115, both for face masks.
• Houston becomes the twelfth team to be fined $50,000 for reaching the first threshold.
• Los Angeles Chargers:  Joey Bosa:  $18,231 for roughing the passer.
• Los Angeles Chargers:  Rayshawn Jenkins:  $9,115 for unnecessary roughness.
• Dallas Cowboys:  Geoff Swaim:  $9,115 for a crackback block.
• Atlanta Falcons:  Desmond Trufant:  $12,154 for a punch.
• New Orleans Saints:  This one confuses me, with the new rules:  Alvin Kamara was fined $6,079 for illegal cleats, but they were holiday-themed cleats.  On Christmas Week.  Yeah.
• Another hypocrisy of the top end:  Jameis Winston was not fined by the NFL for his outburst at the officials, including shoving a sideline personnel member.  One can only hope this meant the team fined him at least the relevant amount.  Not only because Winston should've been fined, but that fine would've cost the Bucs $50,000 for reaching the first threshold too.
• Jacksonville Jaguars:  Yannick Ngakoue:  $30,387 for contact with an official.  It makes Ngakoue a TWO-TIME LOSER.

More to come.
