Nick Bolton, Kansas City Chiefs linebacker, was fined $8,238 for a horse-collar tackle on 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy during the Super Bowl.
The fine was issued after a delay, with the NFL typically announcing fines the Saturday following games.
Bolton's tackle was described as fairly minor, with him briefly grabbing the back of Purdy's jersey without dragging him to the ground.
Chiefs cornerback L'Jarius Sneed, also flagged for unnecessary roughness during the game, was not fined.
ESPN NFL insider Jeremy Fowler labeled the Chiefs as 'Still major contenders' in his offseason breakdown, highlighting the team's need for strategic signings.
