Two Washington Commanders surprisingly fined for infractions vs. New York Giants
· Yahoo Sports
Washington Commanders edge rusher Dorance Armstrong and cornerback Amik Robertson were fined for actions stemming from a Week 5 27-27 draw with the New York Giants. That information was announced by the NFL on Saturday afternoon.

Armstrong was fined $11,941 for unnecessary roughness, stemming from a face mask penalty that occurred with 9 minutes, 47 seconds left in the first quarter. Receiver Darnell Mooney was injured on the play, where the Commanders were penalized 15 yards. It’s tough to tell from this angle whether Armstrong has Mooney’s face mask or his pads.

Robertson was fined $12.537 for unnecessary roughness on a play with 4:46 left in overtime. The infraction, per the NFL, was a low block. Correct me in the comments if I’m wrong, but he was not flagged for the play. This comes after Robertson was flagged for a suspect pass interference call at the goal line, negating an interception that would’ve completely changed the game. He was also charged with a defensive holding call that was also questionable.
Going back to the Amik Robertson penalty … looked like holding, not PI. He grabbed his jersey, but it looked like it happened before the ball was in the air. pic.twitter.com/3YW6Mky6lV

For the second time today, the officials have flagged Amik Robertson for absolutely nothing.

This time, this was flagged as defensive holding.
