While the Miami Dolphins earned a win in Week 8 over the New England Patriots, safety DeShon Elliott was not as thrilled with the game as his other teammates.
Elliot was fined twice for two hits that weren’t called penalties during the contest.
The safety received a $9,833 fine for his hit on Patriots wide receiver DeVante Parker which landed him in concussion protocol.

He was fined another $43,709 for a hit on running back Rhamonde Stevenson late in the second quarter that also wasn’t called a penalty.
Dolphins safety DeShon Elliott actually was fined twice for actions during last week’s Patriots game, and the DeVante Parker hit was the smaller of the two. He was docked $43,709 for this tackle on Rhamondre Stevenson. (He’s No. 21 on Miami) pic.twitter.com/Us6WyuKdOZ

Elliott originally shared his displeasure with the decisions on his Instagram story, and it’s no surprise, as that’s a good percentage of his game check.
