2023 NFL Week Four Fine Blotter

So let's see how many lies the NFL wants to tell THIS WEEK...

Ah, a few fewer this week.  I see only 20 on the number this week.

• Arizona
• Jalen Thompson, $18,222 for lowering his helmet on a tackle.
• Ezekiel Turner, $10,927 for a face mask
• Atlanta
• Bud Dupree, $10,927 for unsportsmanlike conduct.
• DeMarcco Hellams, $4,314 for involvement in an altercation.
• Buffalo with FOUR this week...
• Stefon Diggs:  $13,659 for unsportsmanlike conduct.  Appears to have been an unflagged taunting foul for an illegal TD celebration.
• DaQuan Jones:  $16,391 for roughing the passer.
• And Ed Oliver got two:  Two unsportsmanlike conducts, $27,318 total, a minute and five seconds apart.  (And yes, that means he goes on the "should've been ejected" list)
• Both for grabbing his crotch.
• Houston
• Kurt Hanish:  $4,879 for altercation involvement.
• Indianapolis
• EJ Speed:  $10,927 for a late hit
• Kansas City
• Jawaan Taylor:  $16,391 for the facemask which resulted in a safety in the game.
• Las Vegas had three.
• Amik Robertson:  $6,297 for unnecessary roughness.
• Robert Spillane:  $13,972 for a blindside block.
• Jerry Tillery:  $10,927 for a FLAGRANT late hit out of bounds.
• The hit earned Tillery the second ejection of the 2023 season.
• Minnesota
• Justin Jefferson:  $10,927 for post-touchdown unflagged taunting.
• New England
• Christian Barmore:  $10,927 for a face mask.
• New York Jets
• Jordan Whitehead:  $21,855 for unnecessary roughness -- aggravated for the TWO-TIME LOSER in three weeks.  No flag, though.
• Philadelphia
• AJ Brown:  $10,769 for taunting, aided in sending the game to overtime.
• Seattle
• Geno Smith:  $10,769 for taunting.
• Tampa Bay
• Mike Greene:  But if this is a "Hit On The Quarterback", why only $4,170 -- something of the line of altercation involvement?
• He was flagged for roughing the passer, but then why only $4170??

The totals:

• 11 teams (only CAR and JAX are clean for the year)
• 19 players (two two-time losers)
• 121 total fines for 105 different players
• 62 of the 121 (over half!) unflagged!!!
• $234,731 for the week, over $1.6 million ($1,668,537) for the year.
