NFL fines Williams, Lenoir for actions in 49ers-Chiefs game originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area

Matchups between the 49ers and Kansas City Chiefs always provide moments of high intensity, and Week 7 last Sunday at Levi’s Stadium was no different.

Two separate incidents resulted in fines for four players: 49ers left tackle Trent Williams ($11,817 fine), 49ers cornerback Deommodore Lenoir ($11,817), Chiefs safety Bryan Cook ($8,442.64) and Chiefs wide receiver Skyy Moore ($9,356.83).

The Super Bowl LVIII rematch featured plenty of drama, including a late-game scuffle between Williams and Cook. After Cook hit Williams on the side of the helmet while the lineman was on the ground, Williams got up and hit Cook in the back of the helmet, ejecting him from San Francisco’s eventual 28–18 loss.

Despite Cook hitting Williams first, the NFL fined him lower than the 49ers star.

Like Williams, Lenoir was also fined for unnecessary roughness following a post-match scuffle that took place on the pitch, also involving Moore. Moore also received a smaller fine than Lenoir.

Both incidents occurred after San Francisco’s fifth straight loss to Kansas City was decided, and it’s clear frustrations were boiling. The 49ers will look to turn things around in Week 8 against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday at Levi’s Stadium.
