Christian Wilkins called throwing a punch early in last Sunday’s game “extremely selfish.”
The Dolphins defensive lineman paid a price.
Not only was Wilkins ejected on the second play, only 33 seconds into the game against the Bills, but the NFL fined him $10,527 for unsportsmanlike conduct.
Wilkins threw a punch at Bills offensive lineman Cody Ford on an incomplete pass Josh Allen intended for Cole Beasley. The 15-yard penalty gave the Bills a first down, helping them to a 39-yard field goal by Stephen Hauschka and early 3-0 lead.
Wilkins also had an unnecessary roughness penalty in Week Four against the Chargers, drawing coach Brian Flores’ ire.
