NFL Fines Chiefs’ Marquise ‘Hollywood’ Brown $12,172 for Slap on JaguarsJourdan Lewis

The league’s decision follows a review of Brown’s unnecessary-roughness flag from the Chiefs’ Week 5 loss.

Overview

  • Brown was the only player penalized or fined in the altercation, according to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero.
  • The incident occurred in the first quarter after Brown and Jourdan Lewis tangled, leading to a 15-yard unnecessary-roughness penalty for an open-handed slap to the facemask.
  • Kansas City lost 31–28 after Trevor Lawrence capped a seven-play, 60-yard drive with a 1-yard touchdown in the final seconds.
  • Lawrence twice stumbled on the decisive play yet recovered to reach the end zone, a sequence that drew scrutiny of the Chiefs’ defense.
  • Chiefs defensive tackle Chris Jones faced online criticism for appearing to assume Lawrence was down, as Kansas City fell to 2–3 and prepares to host the Lions.
