NFL Fines GiantsTheo Johnson $6,488 Over Sideline Clash With Patriots’ Christian Elliss

The league deemed Elliss’s hit on Jaxson Dart legal under current rules.

Overview

  • The unnecessary roughness fine was announced Saturday and reported via NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero.
  • Johnson charged Elliss after Dart was leveled on a first-quarter run, drawing a personal-foul penalty.
  • Elliss received no discipline for the hit or the ensuing confrontation following the NFL Operations review.
  • On a separate play, Elliss delivered a helmet-to-helmet hit that left Gunner Olszewski with a concussion and out for the game.
  • The Giants fell to 2-11 in the Monday night loss and enter a bye before facing Washington on December 14, as Dart returns from a recent concussion and maintains an aggressive approach.
