Four New Orleans Saints defenders were fined more than $44,000 after last week’s Minnesota Vikings game, the NFL announced, stemming from penalties issued during the Week 11 matchup.
Here’s who received fines from the league office in New York:
Paulson Adebo
Adebo was fined $7,644 for an unnecessary roughness infraction with 1:01 remaining in the second quarter, on a play where he tackled Vikings tight end T.J. Hockenson; oddly, he was not fouled on the play during the game, but he received a financial penalty from the NFL all the same.
Carl Granderson
Granderson was fined $16,391 for what the NFL called “a hit on a quarterback” with 11:46 remaining in the third quarter. Vikings quarterback Joshua Dobbs threw an incomplete pass on the play but Granderson was fined for roughing the passer, awarding Minnesota a 15-yard gain.
Tyrann Mathieu
Mathieu was fined $10,927 for an unnecessary roughness penalty with 10:49 left in the fourth quarter; he was fouled for a facemask infraction on the play.
Alontae Taylor
Taylor was fined $9,097 for unnecessary roughness with 5:37 remaining in the fourth quarter. He was not penalized on the play, which was a tackle for loss he split with Granderson against Vikings running back Ty Chandler.
