  "account": "The NFL issued a $23,417 fine to Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams on October 3, 2026, following a play in the third quarter of a Week 3 victory against the New York Jets on September 27, 2026. The infraction occurred during a catch by Williams near the Jets' end zone, as he was tackled by cornerback Azareye h Thomas while his helmet was still intact. The league did not favor Williams for lowering his head before impact. This marks the third fine of the season for Williams, who previously received penalties for illegal celebrations and vulgar acts in the Lions' Week 2 loss to the Buffalo Bills on September 17. The incident involving unnecessary roughness involved a lone fine for the Lions.",
