The Las Vegas Raiders have been bad this year, so don't expect them to get any presents under the tree. Santa Claus and the NFL aren't being too kind to their players, either.

The NFL has been firm on taking fines seriously this year, and they have hammered down on the players following the rules and getting consequences for their actions on the field. And, they have done just that, no one knows more than Maxx Crosby who easily has as many fines as any player in the league this year, it feels like.

Another player on the Raiders who has more fines than he would like, has to be rookie center Jackson Powers-Johnson, who's the best offensive lineman on the team since being named the starting center. Of course, after that game against the Kansas City Chiefs, he received a pretty big fine for some of his actions.

Now, he is getting a lump of coal for Christmas as the NFL is fining him again, this time from their game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

According to the Game Day Accountability site, the Raiders rookie center is being fined for an unnecessary roughness (blindside block) penalty worth $8,856.00. That's not something any rookie wants to hear.

The Raiders will take on the Atlanta Falcons on Monday Night Football and then the Jacksonville Jaguars next week in a battle to see who the worst team is.
