- San Francisco: Owner Jed York, banned from the team for six weeks and fined $500,000 for his prostitution arrest in August and no-contest plea.
And advisory, and all but an admission that the Sunday night game WAS rigged...
- LA Rams: No monetary penalty, but a memo went out on Friday to indicate that teams and coaches should not divulge conversations with the referees and committee thereto regarding calls such as the key pass interference call which won Denver the game Sunday night. Coach Sean McVay revealed earlier in the week that the NFL admitted that they should not have called the penalty.
And now, to the Saturday report.
The number of the counting is thirty, meaning 88 reported offenses by the National Football League (and several, including uniform violations, which were handled separately)...
After a week in which a half a million dollars in fines, and over 20 unsportsmanlike conduct fouls were given, this week, the league only did five:
Illegal Celebration:
Illegal Celebration:
- Denver: Quinn Meinerz
- Denver: and Jaylen Waddle, both dinged $14,926 for sharing an illegal celebration. The celebration was a combination "using the ball as a prop" and a dice-rolling situation, which the league apparently thinks is too... I can't even do that one with a straight face with all the gambling sponsorships. The "ball as prop" might get Waddle's to stand, though.
Taunting:
- Carolina: Lee Hunter, $10,174
- New York Giants: Abdul Carter, $11,941
And one of the week's biggest losers:
- New England: Mack Hollins, who got $11,941 for taunting
- New England: Mack Hollins, ... on the same play he got $22,500 for use the helmet.
Speaking of the helmet fouls (and since we don't know if any of them fell under the Points of Emphasis, we still aren't 100% sure...):
- Atlanta: Cameron Thomas, $8,333
- Carolina: Thomas Incoom, $9,222
- Detroit: Jameson Williams, $23,417 -- with his two last week, that's THREE-TIME LOSER
- Minnesota: Josh Metellus, $23,882
- New York Giants: Cam Skattebo, $7,073
And the week's biggest loser:
- San Francisco: Fred Warner, $23,882 for the helmet
- San Francisco: Fred Warner, and another $17,911 AND a strike for potential suspension (his first) for a hip drop tackle.
So we might as well get to the Points of Emphasis fouls and strikes to suspension:
- Houston: Azeez Al-Shaair is in trouble with the league for the third consecutive week, but it's his first not for the eyeblack: $17,911 for a defenseless player foul, his first toward suspension.
- Houston: Jamal Hill, $5,972 for a blindside block. His first strike.
- Los Angeles Rams: Kamren Curl, $17,911 for a hip drop tackle. His first strike.
- New York Giants, Isaiah Likely, $17,911 for a blindside block. His first strike.
- Pittsburgh: Cole Holcomb, $11,041 for a blindside block on the opening kickoff.
Yep, that's SIX. Two hip drops, three blindside blocks, and a defenseless player fine.
And SEVEN helmet fouls. If that's not in the Points of Emphasis, it needs to be.
And here are the rest:
Roughing the Passer:
- Buffalo: Bradley Chubb, $17,911, late hit.
- New Orleans: Danny Stutsman, $7,011, body weight on the quarterback. TWO-TIME LOSER from the preseason. And that was the one everybody was bitching about against the Raiders, so that one was called.
- However, the other one, the one where Patrick Mahomes got splatted, was... NOT FINED???
- Seattle: DeMarcus Lawrence, $17,911, head/neck.
Face Masks:
- Carolina, the team's third of the week: AJ Dillon, $6,750
- Jacksonville: Arik Armstead, $11,941
- Minnesota: Dallas Turner, $11,941
- New York Giants, the team's FOURTH of the week: Shelby Harris, $11,941
We have our first fine for a Roughing the Kicker foul:
- Cincinnati: Cedric Johnson, $6,164
Chop Block:
- Jacksonville: Nate Boerkircher, $8,625
- Tampa Bay: Bucky Irving, $6,988
Low Block:
- Jacksonville: Robert Hainsey, $6,750
- Kansas City: Mansoor DeLane, $12,537
Striking, etc:
- Jacksonville, the team's FOURTH of the week: Antonio Johnson, $12,537
And one more:
- Seattle: Brady Russell, $11,111 for an act away from the play that was worthy of a fine. Unnecessary hit, Chad Clifton Rule.
