Minnesota Vikings Laquon Treadwell cost the the team 15 yards and eventually a touchdown after he was flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct. Treadwell threw his helmet in frustration after Adam Thielen’s fumble in the second quarter. The fumble by Thielen was returned 54 yards, but Treadwell’s penalty moved the ball to the 18-yard line. The New Orleans Saints scored two plays later to take the lead 17-13.
Chris Tomasson of the Pioneer Press reports that it wasn’t just the yardage that cost Treadwell, he now has to pay the NFL $13,369.
