MINNEAPOLIS -- Sacking the quarterback will cost players a pretty penny if not done correctly in 2018.
Minnesota Vikings linebacker Antwione Williams endured a large sanction for his controversial tackle of Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Cody Kessler on Saturday. According to NFL Network, Williams was fined $20,054 for roughing the passer because he appeared to exert extra force when tackling Kessler by using his body weight to drive him into the ground.
Williams, who hopes to make the Vikings' 53-man roster next week, tweeted his disdain for the fine.
