Two members of the Bengals secondary have incurred sizable fines from the league as a result of infractions during the team’s 27-27 tie with the Redskins in London last Sunday.
Tom Pelissero of USA Today reports that safety Shawn Williams picked up a pair of fines that totaled $33,424. Williams was fined $24,309 for a hit on wide receiver DeSean Jackson in the first half of the game that was flagged for unnecessary roughness. He was also fined another $9,115 for grabbing receiver Jamison Crowder by the facemask on a fourth quarter touchdown catch. The grab was rather blatant, but went unpenalized.
Cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick was fined $18,231 for a horse collar tackle on Pierre Garcon near the end of the first half. The play was penalized and gave the Redskins 15 yards they used to get in position for one of Dustin Hopkins’ two missed field goals in the game.
Jay Morrison of the Dayton Daily News reports that linebacker Marquis Flowers was also fined $9,115 for an unnecessary roughness penalty.
