Penalty-Filled Monday Night Football Game Results in Costly Fine for Jaylen Warren

Week 2 Monday Night Football between the Cleveland Browns and the Pittsburgh Steelers was full of penalties. In total, the referee team threw 13 yellow handkerchiefs onto the field to sanction both franchises.

However, ironically, a hit that was not called by the Zebras was the most consequential as Jaylen Warren was fined for illegal helmet use with 12:38 left in the second quarter. The Steelers running back was punished by the NFL, according to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, with $48,333. The RB’s agent revealed that they will appeal the fine imposed by the league.

Based on information from Spotrac, Warren has a base salary of 870 thousand dollars for the 2023 season of the NFL. So if divided by each week of the season, his weekly salary is 48.3 thousand dollars, the same as the fine.
