NFL Fines Ravens CB Marlon Humphrey $46,371 for Helmet-to-Helmet Hit Not Flagged in Week 8

The amount matches the NFL’s second-offense schedule, reflecting prior fines assessed to Humphrey last season.

Overview

  • League discipline cites unnecessary roughness/use of the helmet for Humphrey’s fourth-quarter hit on Bears receiver Olamide Zaccheaus.
  • The play drew no flag during Baltimore’s 30–16 win after a 4-yard completion, with postgame review identifying helmet-to-helmet contact.
  • Humphrey’s fine corresponds to the second-offense tier under the NFL’s schedule, following fines last season of $22,511 on Nov. 7 and $45,060 on Jan. 19.
  • The $46,371 penalty was tied for the largest fine of Week 8 with Washington linebacker Frankie Luvu as the NFL issued only 10 fines that week.
  • NFL reporter Tom Pelissero publicized the notice, and separate reporting noted the Ravens also incurred a $100,000 team fine over Lamar Jackson practice disclosures.
