The NFL levied its fewest fines of the 2025 season for on-the-field transgressions for its Week 8 games. But one of the 10 fines will cost Baltimore Ravens cornerback Marlon Humphrey $46,371.
The NFL announced Humphrey’s fine on Saturday, and it was tied for the largest of the week with Washington Commanders linebacker Frankie Luvu for a hip-drop tackle in Monday night’s 28-7 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.
Neither Humphrey nor Luvu was penalized on the field for the play that drew the fine.
In the Ravens’ 30-16 victory over the Chicago Bears on Sunday, Humphrey tackled wide receiver Olamide Zaccheaus after a 4-yard reception in the fourth quarter. While the game went on without a penalty, the NFL cited the former Hoover High School and Alabama standout after the fact for unnecessary roughness/use of helmet for helmet-to-helmet contact.

Humphrey’s fine of $46,371 is the penalty for the second offense for unnecessary roughness/use of helmet, according to the NFL’s schedule of fines.
Humphrey has not been fined for that infraction previously this season, but he was last season – twice.
The NFL fined Humphrey $22,511 after a 35-34 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals on Nov. 7 and $45,060 after a 27-25 playoff loss to the Buffalo Bills on Jan. 19.
The fine for the first offense for unnecessary roughness/use of helmet in 2025 is $23,186, which is what the NFL fined former Central-Phenix City standout Rakeem Nunez-Roches. The New York Giants defensive tackle tackled Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley in the first quarter on Sunday without a penalty on the play cited by the NFL for the fine.
Former Alabama linebacker Dallas Turner also was fined by the NFL for a Week 8 transgression. The Minnesota Vikings outside linebacker received a fine of $19,907 for unnecessary roughness/launch. The fine came after Turner got a roughing-the-passer penalty for his hit on Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert in the Week 8 Thursday night game.
The NFL uses a collectively bargained schedule of fines to determine the amount of monetary punishment. The NFL’s Schedule of Fines also comes with aggravating and mitigating factors that can affect the size of a fine.
