Washington Commanders linebacker Frankie Luvu was fined $16,883 for his hit on Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff in the Divisional Round of the playoffs.
On the play, Goff overthrew Lions receiver Tim Patrick, right into the arm of Commanders safety Quan Martin. On Martin’s interception return—which went for a touchdown—Luvu found Goff and laid a ferocious hit to Goff’s helmet to knock him out of the play. Goff would miss the next series of plays, as he was evaluated for a concussion, although he did eventually clear protocol and return to the game.
Per the NFL, the fine was for roughing the passer with a hit to the head/neck area.
