Word on Week 17 fines has arrived, and Los Angeles Rams cornerback Blake Countess was fined $48,620 for his hit on San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Marquise Goodwin. The fine is extra steep because it is Countess’ second such incident in five weeks. He was also fined $24,309 after a Week 12 hit on New Orleans Saints tight end Coby Fleener.
The hit left Goodwin briefly unconscious and with a concussion. He went to the hospital from the stadium, but was cleared that same day and allowed to return to Santa Clara with the team.
