In a Friday news dump that was so quiet that it slipped past us, there was a fine handed down by the NFL for San Francisco 49ers CB Richard Sherman for last week’s hit on his former Seattle Seahawks teammate, Tyler Lockett.
Upon league review, Sherman lowered his helmet to initiate contact, which should’ve been a flag, but it went uncalled.
#49ers CB Richard Sherman was fined $28,075 for unnecessary roughness for lowering his head to initiate contact on his big hit of #Seahawks WR Tyler Lockett in the second quarter.
