Bills OL O’Cyrus Torrence only player fined in Cardinals-Bills Week 1 game

The fines are in for Week 1 in the NFL and there were 22 players fined for a total of $247,147. There were no Arizona Cardinals fined, and that includes linebacker Zaven Collins for the bogus 15-yard roughing the passer penalty that wiped out a sack.

On the Buffalo side, cornerback Ja’Marcus Ingram was not fined for his also bogus unnecessary roughness penalty on quarterback Kyler Murray, who gained six yards on third-and-13 from the Bills 25-yard line in the opening possession of the game.

The penalty moved the ball to the nine-yard line and Murray connected with wide receiver Michael Wilson three plays later on a 5-yard touchdown and the Cardinals led 7-0.

Bills right guard O’Cyrus Torrence was fined $7,855 for a facemask penalty on defensive lineman Dante Stills at the 10:35 mark of the second quarter. That flag negated a Josh Allen 4-yard touchdown run on third-and-goal and the Bills had to settle for a field goal after Allen was sacked for no yards on third-and-19.

The Collins penalty came on a Bills first-and-10 from the Cardinals’ 41-yard line on a play that began with 45 seconds remaining in the first half. Instead of a nine-yard loss, the penalty moved the ball to the 26, and three plays later, Allen ran seven yards for a touchdown and cut the Cardinals’ lead to 17-10 at halftime.

Five of the 22 fines involved players on the Raiders and Chargers for a fight that occurred after a fourth-quarter two-point conversion attempt.

Raiders cornerback Jack Jones ($5,472) and Chargers wide receiver Josh Palmer ($11,255) were the main combatants, while Raiders defensive end Maxx Crosby ($11,225), defensive tackle Christian Wilkins ($11,255) and safety Marcus Epps ($11,817) were fined for becoming involved.

The breakdown of the 22 penalties were 19 for unnecessary roughness, two for a hit on the quarterback and one for unsportsmanlike conduct.
