As a reminder, the NFL and NFLPA agreed before the season to a new policy for fine reimbursements.
For hip-drop and horse-collar tackles, launching, illegal blindside blocks and hits on defenseless players, those fined will get 50 percent back if they don’t get fined again for the same foul.
Players fined for any other player-safety infraction will get 100 percent of their fine back if they’re not fined again for the same foul.
The struggle to call hip-drop tackles in real time continues. The NFL fined the
#Bills’ CJ Gardner-Johnson $11,194 for this tackle that was deemed a hip-drop. No flag.
