  "account": "The NFL imposed a record-high 10 fines for \"major\" fouls during Week 4 of the regular season. These penalties were levied to maintain accountability and enforce player-safety rules. The fine amounts ranged from $5,583 to $17,911, with hip-drop tackles accounting for five of the 10 penalties. Notable recipients of the highest fines included Baltimore Ravens linebacker Trenton Simpson, who was fined $17,911 for a horse-collar tackle, and New York Jets safety Minkah Fitzpatrick, who also received the same amount for a hip-drop tackle. The fines were distributed across 10 players, with some collisions resulting in automatic one-game suspensions for three violations within a category. The league's disciplinary actions aim to deter dangerous plays and hold players responsible for violations that threaten player safety.",
