  • No penalty was called during the game, with the league assessing the punishment after reviewing the play.
  • NFL reporter Tom Pelissero first publicized the fine on X with video of the incident.
  • Week 2 included seven such fines totaling $92,743, raising the season’s running total for conduct violations to over $200,000.
