Overview

• The fine stems from a Week 2 play at Kansas City in which Barkley caught a short pass and lowered his head into safety Chamarri Conner for a six-yard gain with no flag thrown.
• The $46,371 amount matches the NFL’s second-offense fine schedule, following a $45,020 penalty Barkley received last season for a similar unpenalized action.
• NFL policy allows supplemental discipline after officials review game film and identify potential infractions that were not called on the field.
• Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce was separately fined $14,491 for an obscene gesture during the same game.
• League data reported by NFL Network shows six-figure totals in unsportsmanlike conduct and helmet-use fines through the first two weeks of the season.
