Chubb Pays Another Price for Helmet Toss
Bradley Chubb losing his cool Monday night not only cost the Dolphins four or seven points in their loss against the Tennessee Titans, it also cost him some money.
The NFL fined Chubb in the amount of $13,659 for unsportsmanlike conduct for throwing his helmet in the field of play in frustration after QB Will Levis got away from him and turned a sack that would have pushed Tennessee out of field goal range into a 5-yard gain.
Chubb was flagged on the penalty to give the Titans a first down instead of having to settle for a field goal, and that touchdown allowed Tennessee to tie the score 7-7.
THE DOLPHINS' 2023 FINES
Chubb became the seventh Dolphins player to be fined this season for game-related violations — that does not include Tyreek Hill's fines for uniform violations — with fullback Alec Ingold and safety DeShon Elliott each deemed two-time offenders.
Chubb's fine was the fourth-highest for the Dolphins this season, but far less expensive than that assessed to Elliott against the New England Patriots in Week 8 when he was tagged for a $43,709 offense along with one for $,9833.
