NFL Fines Cowboys' Sam Williams $11,002 for Facemask on Jordan Love

The decision lands as Williams’ role shrinks following Dallas’s late-September signing of Jadeveon Clowney.

Overview

  • The third-quarter foul came on third down and extended a Green Bay series that ended in a Josh Jacobs touchdown during the 40-40 draw.
  • Williams has been moved out of the starting role after Dallas added Clowney and logged a season-low 29 snaps in Week 4.
  • He was among roughly 20 players fined from Week 4, while no Packers appeared on the league’s list.
  • Fine proceeds go to the Professional Athletes Foundation and the NFL Foundation, and players may appeal to officers Derrick Brooks, Ramon Foster, or Jordy Nelson.
  • A separate unnecessary roughness flag on linebacker Marist Liufau drew no additional league discipline.
