Per multiple sources:
In Chicago’s week 18 match against Green Bay, Kingsley Enagbare was penalized for a horse-collar tackle on quarterback Caleb Williams when he was being pressured and had little chance of creating a positive play.
However, that penalty has had some big consequences:
Now that play just got worse. And that’s because Kingsley Enagbare was fined $5,809 by the NFL for the penalty.
It’s the sixth Packers player fined by the NFL this season. Running back Josh Jacobs had been fined $45k after lowering his head to initiate contact on a play against the Tennessee Titans in week 3 — that fine, though, was later rescinded.
Cornerback Jaire Alexander was fined $11k for pushing an Arizona Cardinals player. And tight end Ben Sims was fined $5,083 for unnecessary roughness on a play against the Houston Texans.
In Week 16, defensive tackle Colby Wooden was punished by $6,150 for unnecessary roughness during the New Orleans Saints game. And in Week 17, safety Zayne Anderson was punished with a $5,861 fine for unnecessary roughness (use of the helmet) on a play he also suffered a concussion.
Of course, fans were quick to react to the fine:
