Anthony Richardson received a hefty fine from the NFL on Saturday.

The Indianapolis Colts quarterback was fined $22,511 for unnecessary roughness after lowering his helmet and making contact with Detroit Lions safety Brian Branch while running with the ball during the Lions' lopsided 24-6 win over the Colts in Week 12 (via NFL Network's Tom Pelissero).

It's the first time Richardson has been fined during his brief career, per Spotrac.
