Frankie Luvu has a big storyline in Sunday’s NFC Championship game, and just hours before kickoff, the Commanders’ linebacker was fined nearly $34,000 for two unsportsmanlike fouls in the divisional round win over the Lions.
The NFL fined Luvu $16,883 for roughing the passer (blow to the head/neck) — his block on Jared Goff that aided a pick-six return. No flag was thrown on a pivotal play in Washington’s upset win.
Frankie Luvu also was fined $16,883 for an illegal hip-drop tackle on Jahmyr Gibbs a few plays later. No penalty there either. So, $33,766 in fines for Luvu but no flags. https://t.co/RAwsgVCYCQ
