The Los Angeles Chargers knocked off the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 11, but due to a couple of hits, two players are now lighter in the wallet as a result.
Chargers safety Derwin James was fined $16,883 for his horse collar tackle against Bengals running back Chase Brown, according to Sports Illustrated’s Jay Morrison. James has been hit with the highest amount of fines in dollars this season and was also suspended for a game.
In addition, Chargers defensive tackle Otito Ogbonnia was fined $5,915 for his roughing-the-passer hit on Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow. Ogbonnia put his full body weight on Burrow, leading to the fine.
The Chargers may be a little less full of money, but they sit at 7-3. The Bengals took another hit in the form of seeing their playoff hopes all but vanish after falling to 4-7.
