  "account": "Washington Commanders defensive back Quan Martin was fined $17,911 by the NFL for unnecessary roughness in their Week 9 loss to the Los Angeles Rams. The fine was announced on Saturday afternoon. The league determined the infraction occurred when Martin hit a defensive player with 9 minutes, 22 seconds left in the second quarter, which ultimately led to a Rams victory 20-13. However, there was no flag thrown for the infraction; it was discovered during further review. The incident involved Martin's well-timed tackle to knock the ball loose on third down. Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford was attempting to throw an incomplete pass to receiver Tutu Atwell at the time.",
