The NFL handed out a fine to a Jacksonville Jaguars player for a hit on Kansas City Chiefs quarterback in the AFC divisional round, but it’s probably not the one that you think.
According to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, the league fined Jaguars DL Arden Key $15,914 for roughing the passer in the AFC divisional round. This wasn’t for his “hip-drop” tackle that injured Patrick Mahomes’ ankle — a type of hit that the NFL claims they’ll be reviewing in the offseason. Instead, this was for a roughing the passer penalty against backup QB Chad Henne that occurred in the second quarter of the game.
