Minkah Fitzpatrick Not Fined For Unnecessary Roughness Calls; Ja’Marr Chase Fined For Taunts

Minkah Fitzpatrick’s wallet isn’t any lighter coming out of Week One. Despite twice being flagged for unnecessary roughness calls in last Sunday’s win over the Cincinnati Bengals, Fitzpatrick was not fined by the league.

Fitzpatrick was twice called for illegal hits to the head of a defenseless player, once on WR Tyler Boyd on Cameron Sutton’s INT and late in the game again on Boyd on a hit to break up a pass in the end zone.
