Overview

  • Bateman was fined following a 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct flag in Baltimore’s 28-6 win over the Dolphins.
  • A social-media video showed him shouting at a referee, though the league did not disclose the exact language.
  • The $25,154 fine was reported as the week’s second-largest, behind a $100,000 penalty for Washington’s Frankie Luvu.
  • Despite the sanction, Bateman—extended on a three-year deal in June—remains a key target in the Ravens’ offense.
  • With a trip to Minnesota up next, Baltimore’s staff is expected to reinforce on-field discipline after the incident.
