Bengals CB Pac Man Jones has been fined 35k for slamming Amari Cooper’s head into the ground
Did Pac Man Jones go overboard this weekend when slamming Amari Cooper’s head into the ground? Many forget to look at the entire video when Amari Cooper punches Pac Man Jones in the throat.
Jones ripped Amari Cooper’s helmet off. Then, he slammed Cooper’s face into the helmet with an extended arm — but received only a 15-yard penalty.
Jones said Wednesday that he has been fined $35,000 as a result of the incident with Cooper. Jones added that he plans to appeal the penalty, although it is considerably less than the $91,000-plus he would have lost if the league decided to suspend him.
“It’s magnified because it’s me,” Jones said, via the team’s website.
