Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley has been fined $45,020 for unnecessary roughness after a helmet-lowering incident during a game against the Cleveland Browns. This hefty fine is attributed to Barkley's history of similar infractions, including a previous fine while with the New York Giants.
The NFL is focused on improving player safety by discouraging such actions, even if they are not deemed violent. Other fines from the game included penalties for players from both teams.
