The Kansas City Chiefs face fines following a Week 1 incident involving tight end Peyton Hendershot and Baltimore linebacker Roquan Smith. The Chiefs organization has been fined $100,000, while Hendershot himself faces a fine of $5,472, which he is appealing. Smith, after the game, cautioned Hendershot, noting he didn't know who he was but warned him to 'watch himself.'
Hendershot, previously with the Dallas Cowboys before being traded to the Chiefs, missed the opener as a healthy scratch. Running back Isiah Pacheco was also fined $5,582 for unnecessary roughness during the game. As they prepare for Week 2 against the Cincinnati Bengals, the Chiefs aim to avoid further league discipline.
