The NFL keeps fining players for on-field actions. On Saturday, minutes before the Baltimore Ravens' game against the Pittsburgh Steelers in a huge AFC North matchup, the league announced it punished defensive tackle Nnamdi Madubuike with a $16,883 fine.
The reason was a roughing the passer during the Ravens' 35-14 win over the New York Giants last week. According to the league, Madubuike illegally used his body weight over the quarterback.
He was the only Ravens' player fined this week.
To protect players from unnecessary risk and preserve competitive balance and game integrity, the NFL and NFL Players Association have agreed on a set of game-related rules violations that may result in accountability measures.
Players are notified of violations and may appeal any ruling. Cases are heard by appeals officers and former NFL players, Derrick Brooks, Ramon Foster, Kevin Mawae, or Jordy Nelson, who are jointly appointed and paid by the NFL/NFLPA. The decisions made are final and binding.
The fines collected are donated to the Professional Athletes Foundation to support Legends in need and the NFL Foundation to further support the health, safety and wellness of athletes across all levels, including youth football and the communities that support the game.
