The Baltimore Ravens’ win over the Detroit Lions in Week 7 was an expensive one for a couple of Ravens players. Two of them were fined for illegal hits in the game against Detroit.
One of them came on a play that earned a penalty in the game. Ravens LB Roquan Smith was fined $16,391 for a hit on Detroit QB Jared Goff that drew a roughing-the-passer penalty on the first play of the fourth quarter.
The other fine comes from a play that resulted in no penalty, but a larger fine. Wideout Odell Beckham Jr. was fined $21,844 for lowering his helmet to initiate contact with Lions safety Kerby Joseph, also in the fourth quarter. Joseph had to leave the game to get cleared in the concussion protocol after being on the receiving end of the helmet-to-helmet hit from Beckham.
No Lions committed any fine-worthy offenses in Baltimore.
