Da Bears didn't show up today?
They never show up in L.A. The lights are too bright....
Bears RB gets big fine from NFL for bizarre reason
...
Jonathan Jones of CBS Sports said the league took issue with Foreman lowering his head just before making contact with the defender. That would be consistent with previous NFL discipline, as Steelers running back Jaylen Warren was in the same situation last week.
No penalty was called during the game, and no one was suggesting there should have been one, either. Regardless, the NFL is very serious about contact like that, fairly or not.
Most would probably take offense to the size of the fine, which is one of the higher amounts the league can hand down. Players have received smaller fines this season for things that most would agree are much worse than this.
I agree, shoulda been $43,708 tops

Trending slideshow: The most overpaid & underpaid players at every NFL position
Underpaid quarterback: Brock Purdy, San Francisco 49ers
The last overall pick from the 2022 draft is a remarkable 10-2 over his first 12 regular season starts, leading the 49ers as an uber-efficient passer. The Iowa State alum is also a huge bargain for his team, with a cap hit of less than $900,000 in 2023.
"Mr Irrelevant"
Overpaid quarterback: Deshaun Watson, Cleveland Browns
Watson signed a record-breaking five-year, $230 million guaranteed contract with the Browns in 2022. Since that time, he's struggled when he hasn't been suspended or injured. Watson's cap hit is over $19 million in 2023, the 10th highest at the quarterback position.
It's criminal
Overpaid safety: Jamal Adams, Seattle Seahawks
The oft-injured Adams was lost in Week 1 last season due to a quad injury, and has tallied only three games through Week 7 this year. The former Pro Bowler's cap hit remains hefty at nearly $11.5 million.
Overpaid tight end: Will Dissly, Seattle Seahawks
It's still unclear how Dissly drew such a large contract from the Seahawks, as he's never gained 400 yards receiving in a season. His cap hit of about $9.2 million this season hasn't been money well spent, with six catches over his first five games.
Helluva blocker?
Ouch x 2.
Overpaid offensive guard: Cody Whitehair, Chicago Bears
Whitehair has had a tough time for the Bears this season after missing time to injury last season. The former Pro Bowler is making a large sum from the Bears, however, with a cap hit of $14.1 million this season.
Overpaid inside linebacker: Tremaine Edmunds, Chicago Bears
After five productive seasons in Buffalo, Edmunds was rewarded with a massive deal in Chicago this year. His play hasn't quite been up to his old standards, and Edmunds' cap hit of nearly $14.7 million in third highest among inside linebackers.
OUCH.
Overpaid defensive end: Emmanuel Ogbah, Miami Dolphins
Ogbah had back-to-back nine-sack seasons with Miami in 2020-2021 but hasn't played at that same level over the last two years. He played only nine games last year and has 2.5 sacks over seven games this year. Still, Ogbah's cap hit is nearly $17.2 million for the Dolphins.
Ugh.
Underpaid defensive tackle: Jalen Carter, Philadelphia Eagles
Carter's play has been as advertised as the ninth overall pick in the 2023 draft, dominating as an interior pass rusher with 3.5 sacks in his first six games. His cap hit is still sizeable at nearly $4 million, but a bargain considering how well he's played.
Bummer.
Overpaid center: Ryan Jensen, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
An extremely reliable center for the Bucs before last season, Jensen suffered a knee injury before Week 1 in 2022 and hurried back to play in the playoffs. Jensen had a setback that ended his 2023 season before it began, but his cap hit is among the top centers in the NFL at more than $5.9 million.
Underpaid safety: Antoine Winfield Jr., Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Winfield has been a key playmaker since the Bucs drafted him in 2020, making the Pro Bowl in 2021. He has two sacks and three forced fumbles in seven games this season, but his cap hit is very reasonable at about $2.1 million.
Winfield Jr could panhandle Jensen.
