Raiders' Maxx Crosby fined for late hit on Bengals QB Joe Burrow
The late hit on Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow by Las Vegas Raiders star Maxx Crosby has resulted in a fine.
According to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero, the NFL hit Crosby with an $11,255 fine due to unnecessary roughness for hitting Burrow after a whistle. The foul occurred during Cincinnati's Week 9, 41-24 win over the Raiders.
The fine comes just a few days after a controversial end to the Bengals' Week 10 game, which featured missed flags on late hits to Burrow and multiple unflagged infractions on a key two-point attempt by Cincinnati.
While a small fine, it's progress from a league that needs to do a better job of protecting players like Burrow -- who had thoughts of his own about late hits recently.
