Why Commanders’ Javon Kinlaw was fined $28,555 vs. Lions

The Week 10 loss to the Detroit Lions was particularly damaging for the Washington Commanders, not only due to the score of 44-22 but also because of the disciplinary actions that followed. Javon Kinlaw's fine of $28,555 highlights the consequences of escalating tensions on the field, which also saw Daron Payne ejected and suspended for his actions against Amon-Ra St. Brown, who himself received a fine of $12,172. This incident reflects a broader trend in the NFL where player conduct is increasingly scrutinized, impacting team dynamics and individual careers.
