Watson Fined by NFL for Three Separate Violations
In this story:
The hits keep on coming as a result of Monday night's game for the Cleveland Browns and their quarterback Deshaun Watson. Watson was fined for three separate plays during the loss to the Steelers for a total of $35,513.
He received two fines of $10,927 for unnecessary roughness and was also fined an additional $13,659 for unsportsmanlike conduct.
David Njoku was also fined $13,659 for unsportsmanlike conduct as he and Watson were both fined for celebrating the successful two-point conversion. Running back Jerome Ford was also fined $5,281 for unnecessary roughness.
The two unnecessary roughness fines against Watson were for the two plays in which he was flagged for during the game. Watson had two scrambles late in the game where he was called for face mask penalties as he was going out of bounds .
Watson appeared to have incidentally bumped an official after the play was over and many thought he should have been penalized for it. The NFL announced on Tuesday that there would be no further penalty for Watson on that.
These penalties are just further evidence that everything Watson does will be put under a microscope from here on. Below you can see the celebration that both Watson and Njoku were fined for.
