Cleveland Browns defensive tackle Dalvin Tomlinson made a significant impact on the field during the team’s Week 1 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys. On just the second play of the game, Tomlinson successfully sacked Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott.
However, Tomlinson’s celebratory moment came with a cost. The NFL has fined Tomlinson $22,511 for the hit, citing that he landed on Prescott with his full body weight.
The fine was reported by Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal, who shared the news on X. The significant penalty reflects the league’s emphasis on player safety, particularly when it comes to hits on quarterbacks.
