Cornerback Josh Jobe and Chargers wide receiver Tre Harris were each dinged for their offsetting personal foul penalties in the first quarter. It\u2019s just a minor scuffle that sees Jobe fined more than Harris, presumably because the latter is on a rookie contract and CBA rules don\u2019t allow for a player to be fined more than 10% of their game check for a first-time offense. Jobe\u2019s fine is the standard first offense.<\/p>\n
DeMarcus Lawrence was fined $17,911 for his roughing the passer penalty against Justin Herbert. He went below Herbert\u2019s knees, which is an automatic flag even though the hit was borne out of Lawrence being tripped by the Chargers\u2019 keystone cops routine. That\u2019s consecutive weeks of Lawrence losing money due to hitting the quarterback illegally.<\/p>\n
But the main story of Seattle\u2019s fines is Nick Emmanwori. His ill-conceived headbutt of Chargers guard Cole Strange, which helped gift the Chargers a short field goal to close the first half, resulted in a $14,648 fine for use of helmet. Emmanwori\u2019s other $14,648 fine was for an uncalled hip-drop tackle on Oronde Gadsden II, which is something to pay closer attention to for the rest of the season.<\/p>\n
Why Nick Emmanwori is now closer to a one-game suspension<\/p>\n
The NFL has made it a point of emphasis to crack down on several types of personal fouls, implementing a new rule in 2026<\/a> that mandates a one-game suspension if there are three offenses committed for any of the following infractions:<\/p>\n -Hip-Drop Tackle
-Horse Collar Tackle
-Launching
-Hit on a Defenseless Player
-Blindside Block<\/p>\n
