NFL cracks down on criticizing refs with fines for Baker Mayfield, Clay Matthews

The NFL seems to be fed up with its players saying they’re fed up with the level of officiating this year.

The league has fined Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield, Los Angeles Rams linebacker Clay Matthews and Detroit Lions defensive back Tracy Walker $12,500 each for their comments on officiating after a rough week for the referees, according to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero.

All three players publicly ripped into a variety of questionable calls during last week’s games.

Baker Mayfield was not happy with the officiating after the Browns' loss to the Seahawks.
