They were good this week, or else the league fell asleep.
Only ten fines this week. (Scroll to Week 8 if you see this later this season.) That might be a record for the two years the league finally admits to reporting them all on a consistent basis.
NONE of them were taunting/unsportsmanlike conduct.
- Marlon Humphrey of the Ravens drew the short straw this week. $46,371 for use of the helmet. Repeat offender with that from the playoff game with Buffalo, AND from a November 2024 with Cincinnati, in which he was fined twice! That is his eighth NFL fine in his eighth year with the league -- more concerning, it's his sixth in a calendar year. Suspension, Roger??? Please? I know there's no way to take a fine into a third tier, under the general fine schedule, but this would qualify on at least two grounds!
- Frankie Luvu of the Commanders also got $46,371, this one for a hip-drop tackle. Was fined a month ago for the some offense. That's HIS fourth fine in a calendar year, after receiving only one fine (for a role in a fight) in his first five-plus years in the league!
- Oh, lookie, it's DK Metcalf! $12,172 for a striking, etc. offense. His SIXTEENTH NFL fine since his career started in 2019. First this year, only two last year after five the year before.
