Is the fine enough for such a blow ?

BB needs to sign the Hanson Brothers... Keep them on hand to roam the defensive backfield to retaliate after BS hits like the one that leveled Meyers

This is why it's getting really hard to watch football anymore. This guy gets fined 5K for hitting Jacobi who ends up missing the next game while Mac gets fined 10K for flipping the football at a player. Consistency is not in the NFL vocabulary.

BB needs to sign the Hanson Brothers

Is this a reference to the Paul Newman hockey movie, Slap Shot?

Just to help our younger readers who don’t know what the yellow pages were.

During an interview a few years ago the "Hanson Brothers" (Steve & Jeff Carlson, Dave Hanson) were asked if they taught Paul Newman how to skate. They answered "We taught him how to act!"

According to My Crease, the fines are collectively bargained for so if you want to blame someone, blame the Players Association.

No. It's not even a slap on the wrist. Which is f'in ridiculous considering the completely made up fine on Mac Jones.

While the basics are in the CBA, a player who commits an injury, is given an IN GAME Penalty AND EJECTED is supposed to be fined MORE than the player who isn't even given a penalty for his supposed action during the game.

Maybe I'm remembering the hit wrong but it didn't look that bad to me. I thought at first it was helmet to helmet but I thought the replay showed otherwise. I'll have to watch it again.

If it's only $5k why not take out Diggs and Allen next time. I've had to pay higher court costs for losing an application (not even a trial). This is a joke.
