Atlanta Falcons coach Arthur Smith received the worst possible holiday gift from the NFL, as he was fined on Friday morning.
Smith made headlines during the Falcons’ Week 7 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for his curious usage of rookie running back Bijan Robinson, who received zero touches in the first half, prompting fans to wonder what was going on. When asked about Robinson during a halftime interview, Smith said he was “just not feeling all that great.”
Robinson later told the media that he had a headache the Saturday before the game and that he woke up “feeling out of it,” but Atlanta failed to disclose such information on their injury report.
