Two Jets players were fined for actions taken against the Bills in Week 11.
During the 32-6 win for the Bills, Jets tight end Jeremy Ruckert lowered his head and made contact with Dane Jackson, who then left the game due to a head injury. Ruckert was fined $6,370.
Meanwhile, the Bills cornerback will not play in the Bills’ upcoming matchup with the Eagles on Sunday. Jackson has not yet cleared the NFL’s concussion protocol.
Along with Ruckert, Jets cornerback Sauce Gardner was dinged $10,927 for his unnecessary roughness penalty in the third quarter on a hit to Bills receiver Stefon Diggs. It was a late play which saw Gardner suplex or toss Diggs to the ground.
While not as many, the Bills did not escape without a fine of their own.
Bills offensive lineman Dion Dawkins was dinged $10,927 for his unnecessary roughness penalty in the fourth quarter. The play involved Jets defensive lineman Micheal Clemons being on the receiving end.
After Dawkins took the penalty, there was some further action involving Clemons but Dawkins ended up rolling on the ground and getting up and signally to the crowd at Highmark Stadium to end the sequence.
While Dawkins was fined for on-field antics, he was not for the off-field ones he was involved in. Neither was Clemons.
In the tunnel at Highmark Stadium, the two got into a tussle again after the game as they were heading to the locker room. No punishment came down from the NFL that.
The NFL routinely announcing fines that have been handed out for actions during game’s over the ensuing weekend. The league passed down these three from Bills vs. Jets on Saturday.
