Chiefs offensive tackle Jah Reid may have sent a statement with his unneccessary roughness penalty on Denver outside linebacker Von Miller in the Chiefs’ 29-13 win over the Denver Broncos on Sunday, but it looks like he will pay for it.
On Friday, the NFL fined Reid $8,681 for the hit, according to a league spokesman.
In the second quarter, Reid pancaked Miller on a passing play. With Miller lying on the ground, Reid then dove on top of him, drawing the flag. Reid was assessed a 15-yard unnecessary roughness penalty that ultimately thwarted a drive.
“You’ve got to go out there and play tough u2015 you’ve got to set an expectation for him for every play,” Reid said of Miller.
