Three Cowboys Defenders Fined a Combined $46,883 for Plays in Overtime Loss to Cardinals
The NFL released its weekly fines list on November 7, and three Dallas Cowboys defenders were fined a combined $46,883 for three plays in the team's 33-30 overtime loss to the Arizona Cardinals on November 1. Two of the fined plays drew no flag during the game, meaning the league's review effectively acknowledged that officials missed the calls.
Linebacker DeMarvion Overshown was fined $9,528 for using his helmet on a second-quarter hit on Cardinals running back Bam Knight. The hit forced a fumble and officials did not flag it, so the Cowboys kept possession.
Safety P.J. Locke drew the largest fine of the three, $19,444, for a helmet hit on Cardinals running back Tyler Allgeier in overtime that also went unflagged. It was Locke's first game back from injury; he left the game after the hit and spent time in the concussion protocol, but has since been cleared to play the next game.
Edge rusher Rashan Gary was fined $17,911 for roughing Cardinals quarterback Gardner Minshew in the fourth quarter. That play was flagged during the game, extended Arizona's drive and helped set up the Cardinals' comeback.
Under league rules, fine money goes to the Professional Athletes Foundation, which supports former players in need, and to the NFL Foundation's player health and safety programs.
