- Dallas Cowboys: Ezekiel Elliot: $26,739 for the helmet rule -- lowering helmet to initiate contact. It's being reported he's the first offensive player to be fined for this, but I don't think so. What I do think is that he's the first offensive player to be a TWO-TIME LOSER -- and in the last three weeks!
- What people stating this also forget is that offensive players have been (selectively) fined for this foul for some time.
- Referee Roy Ellison was fined a game check, but reinstated for the Jerry Hughes incident. By the information I see, he's working the Titans-Giants game this week.
- Dallas Cowboys: Ezekiel Elliot: Make that THREE-TIME LOSER in three weeks. In addition to the $26,739 previously mentioned, add another $10,026 for a low block. Elliot has now been fined over $50,000 in three games (illegal celebration, RB helmet rule, low block)
- And the Cowboys, in that same span, now over $100,000.
- Philadelphia Eagles: Kamu Grugier-Hill: $20,054 for a leg whip which has eliminated Odell Beckham Jr. from play ever since.
- Seattle Seahawks: Bobby Wagner: $10,026 for a facemask. Neither that nor a key illegal field-goal block against the Vikings were flagged. (I wonder why... Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm....)
- New York Jets: Henry Anderson: $10,026 (and should've been a lot more) for a blindside cheapshot on Steven Hauschka, the Buffalo kicker.
- Atlanta Falcons: Deion Jones: $33,425 for fighting.
- Green Bay Packers: Corey Linsey: $10,026 for unnecessary roughness. Both were as a result of a scrum on a perceived cheapshot to Aaron Rodgers. (It wasn't -- the player was not fined for the hit. Rodgers was ruled not to have begun his slide.)
- And the fine on Jones makes Atlanta the second team to reach Level 2 and dollar-for-dollar status. So add $25,000 for the level, plus an additional team fine of $6,664 for the amount over the line -- and every fine from this point out for the Falcons also is dollar-for-dollar.
- Atlanta Falcons: Damontae Kazee (and the team): $26,739 (each) for the helmet rule. TWO-TIME LOSER -- and I believe both with the helmet, IIRC.
- Chicago Bears: Josh Bellamy: $10,026 for a chop block.
- Philadelphia Eagles: Malcolm Jenkins: $12,500 for blasting the replay official on a first-period fumble call. It counts against the Club Remittance number as unsportsmanlike conduct. THREE-TIME LOSER, and the fine should've been at least doubled.
- Indianapolis Colts: Matthew Adams: TWO-TIME LOSER in two weeks: $26,739 for helmet to helmet. This fine should also have been doubled, as last week's fine was also a helmet situation.
- Indianapolis Colts: Malik Hooker: $26,739 for defenseless receiver.
- And those two biggies make Indianapolis the seventh team to reach Level 1. Add $50,000 team fine to their total.
- Baltimore Ravens: Matthew Judon: $10,026 for unnecessary roughness. And that's THREE-TIME LOSER for Judon, all three for one form or another of unnecessary roughness.
- Cleveland Browns: Jermaine Whitehead: $10,026 for unnecessary roughness. And that's THREE-TIME LOSER for Whitehead too!
- Buffalo Bills: Dion Dawkins: $20,054 for a chop block. That's TWO-TIME LOSER for him.
- New York Jets: Buster Skrine: $20,054 for roughing the passer. And TWO-TIME LOSER for him as well!
- So as of the update I made Saturday afternoon, that's eight repeat offenders for the year this week, FOUR of them three times over.
- There are three teams right now (Buffalo, the Chargers, and Green Bay) who are all basically within "rounding error" of Level 1 status, and are the next three teams to go over.
- Oakland Raiders: Martavis Bryant thrown out of the league for more drug problems.
25% of Vadal Alexander's $152,755 (at the time he was suspended -- he was cut during training camp), Daryl Worley's $148,236, and Bryant's $336,529.
