Overview
- The NFL announced the fines on Saturday as part of its weekly Office of Gameday Accountability report for the Oct. 11 Week 5 tie between Washington and the New York Giants.
- Dorance Armstrong was fined $11,941 for a facemask called during the first quarter that officials flagged on the field and that injured Giants receiver Darnell Mooney.
- Amik Robertson was fined $12,537 for a low block in overtime that was not called during the game, and this assessment is his second fine of the season.
- The fines are standardized league penalties that players may appeal and reflect the NFL’s power to discipline plays after games even when officials did not throw a flag.
- The discipline adds to scrutiny of the Commanders’ late-game errors, injuries and coaching choices and could shape how opponents and the league police Washington’s on-field conduct going forward.
