NFL hits Las Vegas Raiders' Maxx Crosby where it hurts most as he gets bad news before matchup vs. Broncos

The Las Vegas Raiders are a day away from playing against the Denver Broncos in Week 12, which comes after a loss to the Miami Dolphins. And, losing is something they have been doing a lot lately, six in a row to be exact. And, the Broncos are good, so this game could very well be another loss.
But before that, star player Maxx Crosby got some news he did not want to receive—a day before, too. And man, it may hurt anyone to look at, but luckily, he can afford it. That doesn't mean he won't grimace when he sees it, though.
On Saturdays, the NFL releases those who've been fined from the week before. And, this is a good opportunity for fans to get an inside look at how much each penalty these players get, costs them. For Crosby, he was fined twice for the game last week against the Miami Dolphins.
According to Gameday operations, Crosby got an unsportsmanlike conduct (taunting) penalty worth $11,255 on Sunday, along with an unnecessary roughness (striking/kicking/kneeing) penalty worth $11,817.
So that's about $23 thousand just last weekend alone.
The NFL is cracking down on these penalties, and if players aren't careful, they could end up losing a ton of money in just one week. Now, Crosby makes good money, so while this may hurt a bit, like we said before, he can afford it.
If this was an undrafted player, like Amari Gainer, who also was fined this week, it would be a lot more to worry about.
The Raiders and Crosby, regardless of this fine, are getting ready to play the Denver Broncos, and after that have a difficult schedule with the Kansas City Chiefs, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Atlanta Falcons, and the Los Angeles Chargers, who are all pretty good football teams, at least better than the Raiders are.
