NFL fines Ravens’ Marlon Humphrey $33,766 for use of helmet, facemask fouls

ProFootball Talk on NBC Sports

The NFL hit Ravens cornerback Marlon Humphrey hard for two violations of the league’s player safety rules.

Humphrey was fined $22,511 for illegal use of the helmet in the third quarter last Thursday against the Bengals, and fined $11,255 for facemasking in the fourth quarter.

The facemask was called, but the use of the helmet was not. The league’s disciplinary department often sees penalties that the officials missed — and other times chooses not to fine players for personal fouls that were called on the field.

Humphrey’s total of $33,766 in fines was the most any player had his paycheck docked in the NFL this week.
