A hit in the Cincinnati Bengals vs. Houston Texans game led to a suspension of linebacker Denzel Perryman, and apparently, the NFL wasn’t done.
On Saturday, it was announced that Bengals wide receiver Stanley Morgan Jr. was fined $43,709 for a special teams hit in the contest.

Couple the fact that the returner was headed out of bounds with the fact that Morgan appears to lower his head and lead with the crown of his helmet, and this play, unfortunately, has “fine” written all over it.
