ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — For the second time this season, Buffalo Bills offensive tackle Dion Dawkins has been fined by the NFL.
Dawkins was fined $10,927 for unnecessary roughness during the Bills' Week 6 home victory against the New York Giants. Now he's been fined the same amount for an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty during last week's 32-6 home win against the New York Jets.
The Dawkins penalty came with 12 minutes, 21 seconds to play in the Week 11 victory. Dawkins and Jets defensive lineman Micheal Clemons exchanged words during Sunday’s game.
Also from that game, Jets cornerback Sauce Gardner was fined $10,927 for an unnecessary roughness, and Jets tight end Jeremy Ruckert was fined $6,370 for the same offense.
The NFL announces player fines each Saturday afternoon during the regular season. This week, there were 16 plays resulting in fines for on-field discipline.
The largest fine among NFL players this week belonged to Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown. He was docked $43,709 for an unnecessary roughness penalty that happened during the first quarter against the Chicago Bears. The Lions won that home game, 31-26.
