The Cincinnati Bengals and Houston Texans combined for a handful of fine letters from the NFL this week related to the Week 10, 30-27 Cincinnati loss.

Per the NFL’s accountability page, Bengals cornerback Chidobe Awuzie received a $10,927 fine for ripping a player’s helmet off while trying to make a tackle.

By far the most stunning fine was for Stanley Morgan, a special-teams call-up who got hit with a $43,709 fine for a hit out of bounds with the crown of his helmet.

Houston’s Will Anderson received a $16,391 fine for hitting Joe Burrow in the head on the first play of the game.

Not listed here is Texans linebacker Denzel Perryman. The league quickly suspended him after he speared Ja’Marr Chase with his helmet, banning him for three games (two upon appeal) for his seventh use of helmet foul.

This was the hit that earned Morgan a shocking fine letter, via Jonathan Jones of CBS Sports:
