Jaguars linebacker Arden Key was fined by the league for a hit in last weekend’s AFC divisional-round game against the Chiefs, but it wasn’t for his actions on the play that injured Kansas City star quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
Instead, the NFL docked Key $15,914 for a roughing the passer penalty committed on Chiefs backup Chad Henne in the second quarter, according to Tom Pelissero. The Jacksonville defender’s low hit on Mahomes resulted in no additional discipline from the league.
The play in question took place in the first quarter of the Chiefs 27–20 victory over the Jaguars when Key landed on Mahomes’s ankle while attempting to bring him down in the pocket.
