Overview

  • The NFL listed 18 fines against 17 players totaling $198,013 for Week 1 action.
  • Philadelphia’s Jalen Carter was ejected for pre-snap spitting on Dak Prescott, with the league treating it as a one-game suspension already served and costing him a $57,222 game check.
  • Eagles CB Jakorian Bennett received the week’s largest fine at $23,186 for a hip-drop tackle on CeeDee Lamb that was not penalized on the field.
  • Two more Eagles were fined: Cooper DeJean $11,593 for a facemask in an early scuffle and Nolan Smith $11,593 for taunting.
  • Nine of the 18 fined plays drew no flags at the time, with infractions spanning taunting and facemasks to a violent-gesture fine for Jets DE Will McDonald IV and two separate fines on one play for Lions S Brian Branch.
