The Seattle Seahawks lost their first game of the season on Monday, and second-year running back Zach Charbonnet just got his first fine of his career.
In the NFL’s weekly fines report, Charbonnet was docked $45,020 for illegally lowering his helmet to initiate contact on Detroit Lions safety Kerby Joseph. This was on the first play of the second half of Seattle’s 42-29 defeat at Ford Field. Seattle used a two-back set with Kenneth Walker carrying the ball, and Charbonnet serving as a blocker.
The Charbonnet "lowering the helmet" penalty from both All-22 angles, at 0.
