- Cleveland Browns: Greg Robinson was only fined $10,527 for kicking an opponent in the HEAD! And NOTHING for the blindside block -- which the NFL now says should never have been called. Years ago, that kick would get you damn near drummed out of the league -- amIrite, Albert Haynesworth???
- Side note (Robinson announced that one himself, and he will appeal it): AB is not going to be put on the Exempt List for the allegations of rape from Tuesday. (Probably because no video of the incident has yet been found.)
- Oakland Raiders: In a sign of "This is WHY the rule was made!!!" Johnathan Abram: $28,075 for lowering his helmet -- on a play which caused an injury that ended HIS season.
- Cleveland Browns: Myles Garrett: $10,527 for an open punch.
- Cleveland Browns: Sheldon Richardson: $21,056 for roughing the passer.
- Cleveland Browns: Devaroe Lawrence: $28,075 for verbal abuse of the official.
- Cleveland Browns Total: That's four fines, $70,185 for the week, and $98,260 so far for the season. The team fine level is $147,415. They actually skated on two other fines for the week.
- San Francisco 49ers: Kwon Alexander: $28,075 for the ejection hit trying to injure Jameis Winston.
- Kansas City Chiefs: DeMarcus Robinson: $10,527 for his altercation with...

Seventeen teams have been fined for on-the-field acts, two more have been only fined for suspensions. That's 19 teams cutting a check to the league, and we're still processing Week 1.
So far, announced fines for Week 1 total $312,324.
That's after $263,199 in the preseason.
(About in line with the first two sets of last year. $283K in the preseason, about $230K for Week 1.)
