The NFL announced its Week 3 fines on Saturday, and two Patriots were among those affected.
Jabrill Peppers and JuJu Smith-Schuster each received a fine for unnecessary roughness that occurred against the New York Jets. Smith-Schuster’s was for $16,391, and Peppers’s cost him $43,709.
Peppers’s unnecessary roughness was not initially punished by penalty during the game. It occurred midway through the second quarter when the Patriots’ safety appeared to make contact with the head of Breece Hall while the running back was heading to the ground.
Smith-Schuster, however, was flagged for his blindside block on Jets linebacker C.
