Week 3 featured three fines for blindside blocks, two fines for hip-drop tackles

The league announced disciplinary actions from the third week of games, highlighting six major safety infractions that count toward a potential one-game suspension threshold. Among these penalties, two defenders received identical financial sanctions for deploying restricted hip-drop maneuvers during tackles.

Multiple other athletes across different franchises were penalized for illegal blindside blocks, a helmet-based infraction, and contact against a defenseless opponent. League rules dictate that accumulating three infractions across these specific categories triggers an automatic one-game ban, though no competitor has reached that limit thus far.
