Overview
- The NFL’s Gameday Accountability report on Dec. 27 detailed three fines from Denver’s Week 16 loss to Jacksonville.
- Safety P.J. Locke was fined $11,593 for a first-quarter late hit (2:44), DT Malcolm Roach $17,389 for putting body weight on Trevor Lawrence (Q3, 10:49), and LB Alex Singleton $23,186 for use of the helmet (Q3, 8:34).
- Roach’s roughing-the-passer call drew scrutiny from analysts who argued the contact was difficult to avoid.
- Singleton’s penalty was the largest fine issued by the league in Week 16, according to The Sporting News.
- Players can appeal to jointly appointed officers whose rulings are final, and fine proceeds go to league-approved charitable programs.
