GREEN BAY, Wis. (WBAY) – The Packers are in the playoff conversation after an upset win over the Lions on Thanksgiving, and now move on to the defending Super Bowl champion Chiefs. Jason, Rob, and pinch hitter Bill Huber go On the Clock to break down the win and look ahead to next week’s match-up.
. Watt isn’t happy with the fine the NFL handed to Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown.
The league announced on November 25 that St. Brown was fined $43,709 for a block had made in the team’s Week 11 win over the Chicago Bears. It was the largest fine handed out by the league that week, but drew considerable controversy as St. Brown made only light contact on the play.
Not long after the penalty was announced, Watt took to social media to blast the league for what he saw as “stealing” money from the Lions receiver.
Watt linked to a video shared of St. Brown’s hit, noting that it was difficult for him to even find the infraction. As the NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero noted in the original post, the league is cracking down on players who lower their head to initiate contact with defenders.
