Commanders safety Quan Martin got fined $17,911 for unnecessary roughness in a Week 9 loss to the Los Angeles Rams, the NFL announced on Saturday afternoon.
The league cited a hit on a defensive player as the reason for the punitive action, which occurred with 9 minutes, 22 seconds remaining the second quarter of a contest that ended in a 20-13 Rams victory.
Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford threw an incomplete pass to Tutu Atwell at that moment in the game. There was no flag throw for the infraction. The issue was discovered upon further review.
This was the play in question:
It’s tough to tell from this distance if there was an infraction or not, but the officials saw nothing wrong with it.
NOTE: If someone has a better angle, please post it in the comments and we’ll add it to the main story.
Also, Rams defensive back (and former Commanders first-round pick) Emmanuel Forbes was fined $10,839 for unnecessary roughness, for striking/kicking/kneeing. His infraction occurred with 12:25 left in the second quarter. He was flagged for unnecessary roughness during the game.
