NFL punishes Patriots, Eagles and Jets head coaches with near-record fines, per report

The NFL has penalized Mike Vrabel, Nick Sirianni, and Aaron Glenn with $250,000 fines each for their behavior toward officials. These penalties, among the largest ever for head coaches, aim to reduce hostility toward referees.

The league's move follows a season where two officials were suspended after Week 4 for unprofessional conduct toward players.

Vrabel received an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty during New England's 29-26 victory over Buffalo in Week 4 due to profanity. Aaron Glenn reacted strongly to the officiating crew during the Jets' Week 5 win against the Browns.

Nick Sirianni's Week 3 outburst against the Bears occurred after a grounding call on Jalen Hurts. The fines may be rescinded if the coaches maintain good behavior.
