Commanders RB Brian Robinson Jr. got fined scoring a touchdown?

Every week, we see the list of NFL players who were fined for infractions during the previous week’s games. Most of the fines are due to illegal hits, some of which weren’t flagged during the games.

On Saturday, we learned that Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. was fined $6,370 for unnecessary roughness. He was not penalized during the game.

So, what did Robinson do to draw a fine from the NFL?

Amazingly, the fine came at the end of Robinson’s 24-yard touchdown reception, where he ran through two Atlanta Falcons and into the end zone. Per Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post, the fine was for Robinson lowering his head and making forcible contact with his helmet.

Robinson seemingly has one of the NFL’s most physically impressive runs weekly. This is the first time he’s been fined for one of those runs, though.
