That was the reason for Ja’Marr Chase’s Week 2 outburst against an official that resulted in a massive fine letter from the NFL. And the NFL did fine a Chiefs player for a hip-drop tackle during that game — but it was Nick Bolton for a tackle on Erick All, per NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero.

Ja’Marr Chase’s outburst at a referee last weekend came with a heavy price. The Cincinnati Bengals star receiver was fined $31,599 for verbal abuse on an official, as his complaint to referee Alex Kemp during last Sunday’s showdown against the Kansas City Chiefs elicited no mercy from NFL headquarters.
