- Cleveland Browns: Myles Garrett: $42,112 -- $21,056 each for two Roughing the Passer fines. Meaning that Garrett, in just two weeks, is now a THREE TIME LOSER in the fines -- he has already been fined $52,629. Garrett had four penalties Monday night.
- Cleveland Browns: Mack Wilson: $28,075 for helmet to helmet
- Meaning more history for the Browns: The Browns become the first team, to my knowledge, to reach the team fine threshold for a $50,000 team fine BY WEEK TWO. The Browns have now been fined by the NFL on the field eight times already since the pre-season -- seven in the two regular-season games.
- I have four years of Fine Blotter charts on this computer. No one has gotten even reasonably close to the $168,447 that the Browns have. About the two closest were the teams that led the league the last two years:
- The Steelers two years ago, who racked up $85,081 in the first two weeks and followed that up with a $91,498 Week 6 on their way to a team fine of $191,317 (meaning they exceeded the dollar-for-dollar limit by over $90,000!) and a total fine for on the field of $465,136.
- And then the Jets last year: $86,216 in the preseason, another $20,052 in the first two weeks -- so just over $100,000 for that. The big one was Week 16, still a league record: $121,927 alone -- most of that dollar for dollar. Meaning their team fine for on the field was $166,137 (and with the second fine level being reduced to a $25,000 base fine, that meant about the same $90,000+ overage as the Steelers last year) and $467,861.
- The Browns are already at $218,447. The first level kicks in at $147,415 -- dollar for dollar kicks in at $221,116 -- a number the Browns are only $52,669 away.
- Counting their fines for drug suspensions, the team has already been fined over $150,000 and, with the players' fines, it's over $320,000 -- WEEK TWO, ladies and gentlemen!
- Dallas Cowboys: DeMarcus Lawrence: $21,056 for Roughing the Passer.
- Minnesota Vikings: Stefon Diggs: $10,527 for taunting.
- Green Bay Packers: Jaire Alexander: $10,527 for an altercation with...
- Minnesota Vikings: Adam Thielen: who got fined the same amount.
- Minnesota Vikings: Kris Boyd: $28,075 for unnecessary roughness -- that's probably a helmet violation.
- Pittsburgh Steelers: Bud DuPree: $21,056 for Roughing the Passer -- blow to the head. And judging by the video, it should've been far more. That was an ejectable under the new helmet rule.

- Buffalo Bills: Cody Ford: $10,526 for a shove after a taunt.
- Buffalo Bills: Dawson Knox: $28,075 for a blindside block.
- Oakland Raiders: Max Crosby: $21,056 for Roughing the Passer
- Green Bay Packers: Blake Martinez: $28,075 for unnecessary roughness.
- San Francisco 49ers: Solomon Thomas: $21,056 for a late hit (probably QB).
- Carolina Panthers: Gerald McCoy: $10,527 for unsportsmanlike conduct
- Los Angeles Rams: Marcus Peters: $10,527 for unsportsmanlike conduct
That's already $334,214 with the $50,000 team fine for the Browns. And there may be more to add to the Week 2 total. Stay tuned.
For the two weeks and the pre-season, that's over $900,000 on the field.
