New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson was fined $11,255 for an unnecessary roughness penalty.
The penalty occurred during last Thursday’s game against the New York Jets. Stevenson broke free for a run in the second quarter, and he was chased down by Jets linebacker Chazz Surratt. While attempting to utilize a stiff arm, Stevenson drew a penalty flag when his hand got caught in Surratt’s facemask.
The penalty negated the best run of the night for the Patriots. It was a game where the typically run-heavy New England offense only had 15 carries for 78 total rushing yards. They were ultimately defeated in a lopsided 24-3 loss to the Jets.
