NFL Punishes Cowboys Star for Dirty Hit Against Packers

The NFL sees everything — and this one wasn’t too hard to spot.

“Cowboys G Tyler Booker was fined $11,941 for a late hit/unnecessary roughness in the loss to Green Bay,” Dallas Morning News reporter Calvin Watkins wrote on his official X account on Saturday.

Booker laid out Green Bay Packers safety Javon Bullard after a play was blown dead in Week 6—a game the Cowboys lost 23-13, dropping their record to 2-4 heading into a Week 7 Monday Night Football game against the Philadelphia Eagles.

“Tyler Booker goes into the back of Javon Bullard,” SM Highlights wrote on its official X account on October 18. “This is a dirty play. Which could seriously injure someone … he should be ejected. Dirty.”

Size Disparity Made Late Hit Hard to Miss

The dirty hit by Booker, 6-foot-5 and 330 pounds, stood out because he nailed Bullard, 5-foot-10 and 198 pounds, from behind and sent the much smaller man flying.

“Tyler Booker does dumbass bull (expletive) like that because there are 0 consequences for the players on this roster lmfao,” Defy Cowboys Talk wrote on its official X account.

Booker’s mistake was especially brutal because the Cowboys had just picked up a first down on 4th-and-5 deep in Packers territory.

“Tyler Booker picks up an unnecessary roughness penalty after the Cowboys move the chains on fourth and five,” Cowboys reporter Tommy Yarish wrote on X. “Brings the Cowboys back to the Green Bay 27 with a first down.”

“Roster full of morons,” 88K Productions wrote on its official X account.
