Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb has been fined by the NFL for a play during the Cowboys’ Week 3 loss to the Baltimore Ravens, according to a report by NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero.

Dallas Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb received a hefty fine by the NFL for unnecessary roughness, using his helmet on a play during the team's Week 3 loss to Baltimore.

Lamb’s rough Week 3 game got even costlier; the NFL handed down a fine for a seemingly innocuous play that didn’t even warrant a penalty.

Every week, we see that the on-field officials and the NFL's disciplinary department are not on the same page about what constitutes an illegal hit.

ARLINGTON, Texas — With five minutes left in regulation, Dak Prescott threw a pass to CeeDee Lamb on second-and-2 that would have resulted in a first down. With Baltimore Ravens safety Eddie Jackson closing in, the ball went through Lamb’s hands. After the play, Lamb planted his legs into the turf and stuck both hands on the sides of his helmet.

The NFL is continuing its crackdown on offensive players who lower their heads to initiate contact this season. Kansas City Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco was hit with a $5,582 fine for unnecessary roughness when he plowed helmet-first into Baltimore Ravens defenders in Week One.
