NFL fines Frankie Luvu twice, ...

Commanders linebacker Frankie Luvu got away with two penalties in last week's win over the Lions that the officials missed, but the league's disciplinary process caught. One was a potential game-changer: Luvu delivered a helmet-to-helmet hit on Lions quarterback Jared Goff after he threw an interception that the Commanders returned for a touchdown. If it had been called, the touchdown would have been wiped off the board, although the interception still would have counted. The hit on Goff required him to go through a concussion check and miss the Lions' next offensive series. Luvu was fined $16,883 for the hit. During that subsequent Lions series, Luvu hip-drop tackled Detroit running back Jahmyr Gibbs. That also wasn't flagged but resulted in another fine of $16,883. The total in fines for Luvu is $33,766 for the game.
