The NFL has issued fines to several players for unnecessary roughness and unsportsmanlike conduct in recent games. San Francisco 49ers punter Mitch Wishnowsky was fined $9,167 for a late hit, while Philadelphia Eagles safety Sydney Brown received a penalty of $5,807 for hitting QB Tyrod Taylor late. Notably, Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts was fined $16,391 for a horsecollar tackle on Adoree Jackson during a pick-six, which is a rare fine for a quarterback. New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley was fined $21,855, and Steelers wide receiver George Pickens also incurred a $16,391 fine for pointing at defenders during a touchdown. Other players fined include Seahawks safety Quandre Diggs and Broncos guard Quinn Meinerz, both for unnecessary roughness, with fines of $16,391 and $7,251, respectively. Jets WR Jason Brownlee was fined $4,222, Giants safety Dane Belton $5,923, and Titans' Garret Wallow $5,222 for similar offenses. The NFL's crackdown on players lowering their heads to initiate contact has been a consistent theme throughout the season.
