Running back Isiah Pacheco was fined $5,582 by the NFL for unnecessary roughness in a Week 1 game against the Baltimore Ravens.
The fine was for allegedly lowering his head to initiate contact during a rushing attempt, despite no penalty being called on the field.
This incident highlights ongoing concerns about inconsistencies in penalizing players for actions not flagged during games.
The league's focus remains on player safety, though discrepancies between officials and player experiences persist.
