Eagles’ Saquon Barkley fined for lowering his helmet vs. Browns

Eagles’ Saquon Barkley fined for lowering his helmet vs. Browns originally appeared on NBC Sports Philadelphia

Eagles running back Saquon Barkley was fined $45,020 for unnecessary roughness after lowering his helmet in the first quarter against the Browns last week.

The play was not penalized on the field. This is a subsequent offense for Barkley, which is why his fine was over $45,000. As a reminder, these fine amounts are set according to the CBA.

Barkley lowered his head at the end of a first-down run. Here’s a look at the play:

Barkley against the Browns didn’t have the best game. He had 18 carries for 47 yards and 2 catches for 7 yards in the Eagles’ 20-16 win at the Linc. He has a big game this weekend as the Eagles head up the Turnpike to play his former team, the Giants.

There were also a few other fines from the Eagles-Browns game:

• Eagles CB Isaiah Rodgers was fined $5,861 for unnecessary roughness (use of the helmet) on the game’s opening kickoff.

• Browns OL Michael Dunn was fined $7,181 for unnecessary roughness (facemask) from the third quarter.

• Browns LB Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah was fined $20,9000 for unnecessary roughness (use of the helmet) in the second quarter.
