Did Jack Campbell’s Injury Influence the NFL’s Decision Not to Fine Him?
Did Jack Campbell's serious injury influence the NFL's decision not to fine him for an earlier helmet-first tackle against Minnesota?
The NFL announced its Week 8 fines on Saturday, with Detroit Lions players Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams each receiving a $11,941 fine for taunting during their 19-15 victory over the Minnesota Vikings. One play during that game, however, drew my attention: the one involving Jack Campbell. Considering what happened to Campbell later in the game, I can't help but wonder if the NFL's decision not to fine him was influenced by the circumstances.
I'm not suggesting the NFL intentionally concealed anything; there's no evidence to support that. But after reviewing the earlier tackle, I believe it's a fair question to ask.
