Leading up to the Buffalo Bills' game against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 8, the NFL is punishing nickel cornerback Taron Johnson.
The league announced it's fining defensive back Taron Johnson $16,883 for an unnecessary roughness for a hit on a defenseless player foul that took place early in the second quarter of the Bills' win over the Tennessee Titans.
This is the second straight week that Johnson is punished, as he was fined for $11,817 for unnecessary roughness (low block) last weekend.
The league has predetermined amounts for the fines it imposes,
Every Saturday, the NFL is announcing its league-wide fines and amounts for penalties committed the previous week. The money collected by the league through player fines is "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."
Bills’ biggest free agent signing is falling well short of earning his big contract through seven games
That move isn’t panning out.
