Kansas City Chiefs RB Isiah Pacheco made a poor decision in the final minutes of the Week 13 game against the Green Bay Packers, and now he's paying for it.
The NFL issued Chiefs RB Isiah Pacheco a $4,943 fine for his involvement in an on-field altercation with Packers DB Keisean Nixon. Pacheco was ejected after throwing a punch at Nixon in the final minutes of the Week 14 loss.
This is the first offense fine amount for unnecessary roughness resulting in an ejection. A source tells A to Z Sports that Pacheco is not expected to be suspended by the NFL for the punch that was thrown.
Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes had some disagreement over the ejection after the game.
Reid suggested that Nixon should have been flagged for "shoving" Pacheco and instigating the fight, but the Packers defensive back was not fined by the NFL.
Instead, the league is adding insult to injury for the second-year running back. Pacheco is set to miss the Week 14 game against the Buffalo Bills due to a shoulder injury.
