  "account": "Las Vegas Raiders defensive end Maxx Crosby faces the NFL's largest fine of the week, totaling $23,882, just before the Raiders play the Buffalo Bills. This comes after Crosby's actions during the team's October 11 loss to the New England Patriots. The fine was issued for unnecessary roughness, specifically for using his helmet in a dead-ball situation following an extra-point attempt. The fine marks Crosby as no stranger to penalties, despite his return to the lineup this season. The NFL's sanctions aim to maintain sportsmanship and player safety, enforcing rules to prevent unnecessary risk.",
