Lions receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown thought he could get off scot-free \u2014 but new video proved otherwise<\/a>.<\/p>\n

St. Brown was slapped with a $12,172 fine \u2014 but not suspended \u2014 for hitting Commanders defensive lineman Daron Payne during the Lions\u2019 44-22 win over Washington on Sunday, according to multiple reports.<\/p>\n

Additionally, the NFL fined Washington defensive tackle Javon Kinlaw $28,555 for unsportsmanlike conduct for contact with an official.<\/p>\n

Commanders linebacker Ale Kaho also got hit with a fine of $46,371 for use of the helmet amid all of the commotion.<\/p>\n

Payne was initially ejected from Sunday\u2019s contest for striking St. Brown after the Lions scored to take a 22-3 lead, with the wideout seen walking toward the 28-year-old in between plays.<\/p>\n

The NFL also suspended Payne without pay for the Commanders\u2019 Week 11 matchup in Madrid against the Dolphins despite a previous appeal from the defensive tackle.<\/p>\n

Video released following the game, however, showed St. Brown hitting Payne on his helmet a few plays before the lineman\u2019s punch.<\/p>\n

St. Brown, 26, talked about the exchange during an episode of his podcast this week, saying that he did not intend to hit Payne in the face.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m like what the f\u2013k, so I hit him and he starts talking s\u2013t,\u201d St. Brown said on his podcast Wednesday<\/a>. \u201cAnd then I hit him again, and I accidentally hit him in \u2026 I didn\u2019t even mean to jab him in the face, I just (meant) to like push him off, and it so happened that I hit him in the face.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd at that point I was like \u2018Damn, I shouldn\u2019t have done that.\u2019 Probably a flag, whatever. Ref was standing right there. He didn\u2019t throw the flag, so that\u2019s that.\u201d<\/p>\n
