Judon received the penalty for a hit on Bills rookie quarterback Josh Allen, whom the third-year linebacker hit at the end of a 3-yard scramble halfway through the third quarter.

This is not the first time that Judon has been forced to make monetary reparations for his on-field conduct, or lack thereof. Last season, Judon had to fork over $18,231 for a horse collar tackle against the Miami Dolphins.

Whether or not the flag and subsequent fine on Judon were justified is up for debate. However, there is no disputing that the league is ramping up efforts to protect quarterbacks. In 2017, nflpenalties.com reports that 106 roughing the passer calls were issued during the regular season — an average of about .4 penalties per game. That figure has more than doubled so far this season, as 17 roughing the passer penalties have been called in just as many games.
