Roquan Smith fined for facemask on Tyler Shough on game-winning QB sneak

The league assessed several financial penalties following a disputed goal-line sequence in a recent matchup. New Orleans quarterback Tyler Shough converted a crucial fourth-down quarterback sneak for the decisive score with eighty-eight seconds remaining, a play upheld after video review despite questions regarding whether he crossed the plane.

Officials missed a facemask infraction committed by Baltimore linebacker Roquan Smith during the effort, a mistake acknowledged by the league on Saturday along with an $11,941 fine. Ravens teammate Trey Hendrickson received a $17,911 penalty for landing his entire weight onto Shough prior to the two-minute warning, which had advanced the Saints near the goal line.

Additionally, New Orleans wideout Chris Olave was penalized $11,941 for taunting Baltimore cornerback Marlon Humphrey, a violation caught by game officials live.
