Before the Eagles of Philadelphia played in the Rams of Los Angeles in week 3, the Ballon Star Saquon Barkley Ballon had to pay.
The NFL inflicted a fine in Barkley, the attacking player of the year 2024, $ 46,371 for lowering his helmet in a player of Kansas City chiefs during the victory of week 2 of week 2.
The game came in the long term, when Barkley lowered the crown of his helmet and led with him in the defensive back Chamarri Conner. The league almost always considers this unnecessary roughness, and as it tries to eliminate contact with the helmet, a fine generally follows.

No flag was launched on the game, but after examination, the league announced the fine before the start of week 3.
The dollar amount stems from Barkley committing a similar violation last season. Under NFL rules, $ 46,371 is the sentence of a second offense.
Barkley was not the only star sentenced to a fine in this revenge match of the Super Bowl. The tight chiefs Travis Kelce were moored $ 14,491 for having made an obscene gesture after a big catch.
Kelce pulled in a reception of 23 yards while the eagles corner half with steep reinforcement Cooper Dejean. To celebrate, he caught his crotch – a tribute “Huevos” to the film “Major League”. The league did not care about the reference of pop culture and issued a fine.

Like Barkley, Kelce was not reported during the match.
Official controversies were a theme that day, especially on the short-yard of Philadelphia.
The most notable came to the team’s push game of the team in the fourth quarter. The reruns seemed to display several Eagles line players moving before the Snap, indicating a false departure. No flag was launched and the game set up the victorious touch of the game.
Later, the NFL admitted that officials missed the appeal, saying that a flag should have been launched. Consequently, week 3 should offer a stricter officiant on Tash’s push during the “America’s Game of the Week” of Fox between Eagles and Rams.

Barkley will try to defend the Rams again after his inaugural campaign in the Eagles in 2024, when he ran 255 yards in 26 races with two affected. He also caught four Jalen Hurts passes that day for 47 yards.
