Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs was fined $45,020 by the NFL for unnecessary roughness related to the lowering of his helmet during Week 3 of the 2024 season.
The play came with 5:16 left in the fourth quarter of the Packers’ win over the Tennessee Titans. A penalty wasn’t called on the field, but video review of the play in question created the fine.
Why is the fine so large right away? Jacobs is a repeat offfender; he was twice fined over $21,000 for the same infraction while with the Las Vegas Raiders last season.
