Atlanta Falcons defensive back Brian Poole was fined a grand total of $40,106 for two separate infractions, including a hit on Drew Brees, in a Week 3 overtime loss to the New Orleans Saints.
According to a league source, Poole received two separate fines of $20,054 for the hit on Brees and for a horse-collar tackle of Saints third-string quarterback Taysom Hill. Officials penalized Poole 15 yards each for roughing the passer and the horse-collar tackle.
Poole, who has a base salary of $630,000 for 2018, can appeal both fines.
