2017-18 Wild Card Fine Blotter

• Jacksonville Jaguars:  Yannick Ngakoue:  $18,231 for unnecessary roughness -- making him a THREE-TIME LOSER.  The Jaguars have had nine fines this year, Ngakoue has had three, in Weeks 1, 16, and the Wild Card.
• And, largely as a result of almost $73,000 in fines to Ngakoue, the Jaguars can add their names to the list of teams going past the first fine threshold, becoming the FOURTEENTH team being fined $50,000 as a result.
• Atlanta Falcons:  Ricardo Allen:  $18,231 for unnecessary roughness -- late hit out of bounds -- making him a TWO-TIME LOSER in the last month.  Fines in Week 15 and the wild-card.

More coming maybe.

Couple of interesting thoughts so far:

• Fourteen teams have been penalized $50,000 for passing $121,000 in fines for the season.  (If Atlanta gets one more fine this post-season, they become team #15.)
• Six have been fined an additional $50,000 and nailed dollar-for-dollar for any more for passing about $181,000.
• The team Club Remittance penalties for on-field dirty-play violations (this does not count the fines themselves except in dollar-for-dollar cases, does not count the multiple-suspension penalties, and does not count things like concussion protocol, etc.) are now almost $1.2 million themselves.
• Total reported fines plus the Club Remittance dirty-play penalties so far?  Almost FIVE MILLION DOLLARS (and it'd be well over five million and pushing six if we took the entire paychecks of some of the suspensions, rather than just the $50,000 maximum.)

The eight remaining teams:

• Pittsburgh:  #1, $268,784 in fines, another $186,272 in Club Remittance penalties, total $455,056 -- and that's with zero fines in Weeks 16 or 17.
• Minnesota:  #4, $201,924 in fines, another $119,414 for Club Remittance, total $321,338, and that is with no fines since Week 10!!!
• New Orleans:  #7, $155,853 in fines, another $50,000 Club Remittance, total $205,853.
• Jacksonville:  #9, $132,426 in fines, another $50,000 Club Remittance, total $182,426.
• Atlanta:  #16, $112,425.
• Philadelphia:  One of the trend-setters for dirty hits and winning this season, they had fines in the preseason and in the first four weeks of the regular season for almost $85,000.  They've had one fine since, total $94,194, ranked 19th.
• New England:  #27:  $68,230 -- $50,000 of that total was the Gronkowski suspension.  If Gronkowski does not get suspended, New England is the least-fined team in the NFL.
• Instead, that honor goes to the last remaining playoff team, Tennessee, only fined twice this year for a total of $21,269 -- the margin between them and the next two higher teams would more than double that amount.
