Eagles Players Fined for Conduct During Bills Game

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. – Two Philadelphia Eagles players have been fined by the NFL for incidents that occurred during their Week 17 victory over the Buffalo Bills. The fines, announced Saturday, were levied against safety Sydney Brown and tight end Grant Calcaterra.

Sydney Brown was hit with an $8,432 fine for unnecessary roughness. The incident occurred on a kickoff just before halftime, when Brown was flagged for striking, kicking, tripping, and/or kneeing. Bills offensive lineman Alec Anderson was also penalized for unnecessary roughness on the same play, but did not receive a fine.

Grant Calcaterra was fined $6,353 for unsportsmanlike conduct, specifically for taunting after a punt return with only 13 seconds left in the third quarter. Calcaterra was not penalized on the field during the game for the action.

No Buffalo Bills players were fined in this round of disciplinary actions.

The NFL announces player fines every Saturday afternoon during the season. For Week 17, there were 25 fines for on-field discipline during 2,465 total plays. Fines are based on a pre-determined schedule and are used to support charitable causes.

Since 2011, the NFL has donated roughly $4 million annually from fines to the Professional Athletes Foundation and the NFL Foundation, supporting former players, athlete health, youth football, and community programs.

Players who are fined receive a letter detailing the violation, along with video evidence, the fine amount, and information on how to appeal the decision. If a player does not appeal, the fine is deducted from their next paycheck.
