Why Cowboys’ CeeDee Lamb was fined $22,511<\/h1>\n

Despite not drawing a flag, CeeDee Lamb was fined by the NFL for an illegal hit during the Cowboys’ Week Three game against the Ravens.<\/p>\n

The NFL is continuing its crackdown on offensive players who lower their heads to initiate contact this season. Kansas City Chiefs running back\u00a0Isiah Pacheco was hit with a $5,582 fine\u00a0for unnecessary roughness when he plowed helmet-first into Baltimore Ravens defenders in Week One. Pacheco was fined by the league despite not being flagged on the play by officials. Now,\u00a0Dallas Cowboys\u00a0wideout\u00a0CeeDee Lamb\u00a0is the latest player to get slapped with the unnecessary roughness fine.<\/p>\n

The offending play also involved the Ravens as it occurred during the Cowboys\u2019 Week Three clash with Baltimore. The league fined Lamb $22,511 for\u00a0leading with his helmet\u00a0after making a first down grab late in the first quarter, according to NFL insider Tom Pelissero on X. Once again, no flag for unnecessary roughness was thrown on the play.<\/p>\n

Lamb can afford the fine \u2013 and just about anything else \u2013 after\u00a0signing a four-year, $136 million contract\u00a0with the Cowboys prior to the start of the 2024 season. The fifth-year veteran led the league with 135 catches for a career-high 1,749 receiving yards and 12 touchdowns through the air in 2023, adding 14 rushes for an additional 113 yards and two scores on the ground.<\/p>\n

The Cowboys star wideout was named a first-team All-Pro last year and made his third Pro Bowl. He\u2019s up to 20 catches for 316 yards and two touchdowns this season.<\/p>\n

Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb got hit in the wallet for a hit on the field<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\nLamb wasn\u2019t the only offensive player who got hit in the wallet by the NFL. Green Bay Packers running back\u00a0Josh Jacobs was fined $45,020\u00a0for the same infraction. Jacobs led with his helmet when colliding with defenders during Green Bay\u2019s Week Three matchup against the Tennessee Titans. As was the case with both Pacheco and Lamb, Jacobs\u2019 infraction was not called on the field. The league decided the RB\u2019s actions constituted unnecessary roughness and issued the fine on Saturday.
\nBoth Lamb and Jacobs put their heads down as defenders were closing in, however, neither play appeared to be particularly egregious. Clearly the NFL is cracking down on helmet-to-helmet contact initiated by offensive players. But anyone who\u2019s watched any amount of football prior to 2024 would be hard pressed to find anything particularly wrong with either play.<\/p>\n

Given the fact that neither play was flagged for a penalty, it\u2019s likely that the fines came as a surprise to Lamb and Jacobs. Moving forward, plenty of offensive players will be holding their breath each Saturday \u2013 the day when the NFL levies fines for the previous week\u2019s games \u2013 hoping the league doesn\u2019t single them out with a hefty fine.<\/p>\n
