Chargers' Joey Bosa Fined $55K for Criticism of Officiating, Unnecessary Roughness

The NFL has fined Los Angeles Chargers linebacker Joey Bosa $55,546 for a pair of unsportsmanslike conduct penalties plus public criticism of officials after his team's 31-30 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars last Saturday in the AFC Wild Card Round, per Tom Pelissero of NFL Network.

The first penalty occurred after Bosa expressed his frustration to referee Shawn Smith about a no-call of a potential hold from Jags offensive tackle Jawaan Taylor.

The second penalty happened after Bosa slammed his helmet down after he felt the referees missed a false start penalty on a play that eventually led to a Christian Kirk touchdown catch, which cut the Charger lead to 30-26.
