New England Patriots receiver Julian Edelman had a day for the record books last Sunday, but it’s not the way he would have wanted.
After the Patriots’ 24-12 win over the Buffalo Bills, Edelman earned three fines stemming from three separate plays that totaled a whopping $63,504, according to ESPN’s Mike Reiss. That was the second-biggest fine issued by the NFL for a single game this season, and no player before Week 16 had earned three fines for a single game.
Edelman was flagged once during the game for unnecessary roughness on a first-quarter punt when he threw a block after calling a fair catch on a punt.
