The Week 17 win over the San Francisco 49ers hit a few Detroit Lions players hard in the pocketbook. Three Lions earned fines from the NFL for actions in Monday night’s game.
All three are in Detroit’s secondary.
Safety Brian Branch got fined by the league a total of $10,128 for unnecessary roughness (use of helmet).
Safety Kerby Joseph is $7,505 poorer after his fine for unnecessary roughness. He pushed 49ers wideout Jauan Jennings into the crowd after a kerfuffle involving Jennings and Lions CB Terrion Arnold. For his actions in the play, Arnold was levied a fine of $11,817. Jennings was fined the same amount as Arnold.
