Tyler Shough's fourth-down quarterback sneak for the game-winning touchdown was controversial.

The NFL has fined Ravens linebacker Roquan Smith $11,941 for a facemask penalty during a game-winning touchdown play by the Saints. The controversial touchdown, a fourth-down quarterback sneak by Tyler Shough, was upheld by replay despite uncertainty about whether Shough had crossed the goal line. Additionally, Saints wide receiver Chris Olave was fined $11,941 for taunting a Raven's cornerback, Marlon Humphrey.

Finally, Ravens outside linebacker Trey Hendrickson received a $17,911 fine for a hit on Shough, which contributed to the Saints' position near the end zone.
