ntaze Burfict $112 Cooper Kupp Jersey Salute to Service ,000 for multiple unnecessary roughness penalties in Cincinnati's loss to Pittsburgh last Sunday.The third-quarter plays involved Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown and running back James Conner. Burfict, who has been fined 11 times for more than $315,000 during his seven-year NFL career, was suspended for four games to begin this season for violating the league's policy on performance enhancers.Burfict was fined for a helmet hit to Brown; he previously served a three-game suspension for a hit on Brown during the 2016 playoffs.His other fine, announced Saturday, came for a high hit on Conner.There were calls for Burfict to be suspended as a repeat offender, but instead he was handed his biggest one-time fines.Also fined:—Bears linebacker Leonard Floyd, $30,080 for two incidents: $10,026 for unnecessary roughness and $20 Authentic Tyler Higbee Jersey ,054 for a hit on QB Brock Osweiler.—Ravens linebacker Matthew Judon, $26,739 for unnecessary roughness.—Seahawks safety Bradley McDougald $26,739 for unnecessary roughness.—Broncos safety Darian Stewart, $26,739 for a horse-collar tackle.—Eagles defensive lineman Michael Bennett, $20,054 for a hit on quarterback Eli Manning.—Colts defensive end Kemoko Turay, $10,026 for unnecessary roughness.—Giants linebacker Alec Ogletree Limited Michael Brockers Jersey , $10,026 for unnecessary roughness.—Seahawks defensive end Quinton Jefferson, $10,026 for unnecessary roughness.—Broncos wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders, $10,026 for taunting. 3rd QuarterRams will receive the ball to start. Are points a must? Possibly.Hell of a drive. Big 3rd down pickup to TE Gerald Everett and then GREAT mobility from QB Jared Goff to step up and hit RB Malcolm Brown who amazingly gets into the end zone without stepping out of bounds.Rams 24, Saints 35GET A DAMN STOP.GOT A DAMN STOP.Drive gets deep into Saints territory but stalls out. Not having Gurley on 2nd, 3rd downs as he was taking a breather was big.GZ good from 34.Rams 27, Saints 35And the Rams get another stop! We got a game!TOUCHDOWN COOPER KUPP!!!And Young Gerald punches it in on the quick screen! Tie ballgame!!!Rams 35, Saints 35Rams kill the drive Joe Namath Jersey , but Saints K Will Lutz nails a 54-yarder. GAME ON!Rams 35, Saints 38What a hell of a first half.The Los Angeles Rams and New Orleans Saints were locked in a back-and-forth shootout until the Rams faked a field goal as P Johnny Hekker seemingly picked up the first. But the spot was short and a replay surprisingly didn’t overturn the call and the Saints took off as the Rams stalled out.A late field goal from K Greg Zuerlein made it Rams 17, Saints 35, but the real takeaway here is the pressure.The Rams haven’t been under this level of pressure, physically and mentally, this season.You can tell. DL Aaron Donald picking up an unsportsmanlike conduct flag. LG Rodger Saffold lashing out and nearly negating that half-ending field goal.They’re being pushed to the edge. And that could be a good thing. To make them uncomfortable and put them under a level of adversity they haven’t faced this year.So yes, the defense has struggled...mightily. And yes, the interception from QB Jared Goff came at about the worst time possible.But this is NFL football between two good teams. It’s going to be a battle.And I’m more interested in the response from this point than how they got here.
