The Green Bay Packers beat the Arizona Cardinals 27-23 on the road last Sunday in a game that was too close for comfort<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Cardinals simply weren’t able to hold off the Packers’ late rally. During that matchup, the Cardinals had the ball for eight minutes longer than the Packers and out-gained them 330-262<\/a>.<\/p>\n

During NFL games, there’s typically some sort of drama on the field, and the Packers-Cardinals showdown was no exception. Following the contest, one Packers player was hit with punishment from the NFL for his actions against Cardinals quarterback Jacoby Brissett.<\/p>\n

Each week during the NFL’s regular season, the league penalizes players for their actions<\/a> in the previous week’s games. The NFL states on their official website<\/a> that these actions are “to protect players from unnecessary risk and preserve competitive balance and game integrity, the NFL and NFL Players Association have agreed on a set of game-related rules violations that may result in accountability measures.”<\/p>\n

In the NFL’s report for Week 7<\/a>, Green Bay Packers linebacker Quay Walker was given a $17,389 fine for a hit on the quarterback (blow to the head\/neck). <\/p>\n

The NFL is cracking down on actions against quarterbacks; hence, the large fine for Walker, who was the only player fined for a hit on a quarterback during Week 7.<\/p>\n

According to the NFL, those fines will go to the Professional Athletes Foundation<\/a> to “support legends in need and the NFL Foundation<\/a> to further support the health, safety and wellness of athletes across all levels, including youth football and the communities that support the game.”<\/p>\n

Josh Sweat of the Arizona Cardinals was also hit for a fine for the Packers game. He has to pay $11,593 for an unnecessary roughness violation (facemask).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Green Bay Packers beat the Arizona Cardinals 27-23 on the road last Sunday in a game that…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":240462,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[436],"tags":[49,48,1730,514,82],"class_list":{"0":"post-240461","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nfl","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-green-bay-packers","11":"tag-nfl","12":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/240461","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=240461"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/240461\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/240462"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=240461"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=240461"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=240461"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
