The NFL hit San Francisco 49ers safety Antone Exum with a hefty $53,482 fine for his hit on wide receiver DaeSean Hamilton during the fourth quarter of last weekend's 20-14 victory over the Denver Broncos, reports Matt Barrows of The Athletic.
Ouch: #49ers S Antone Exum was fined $53,482 for his hit on #Broncos WR DaeSean Hamilton Sunday. Per the league's fine schedule, that's the amount for a second unnecessary roughness foul in a season. ... Solomon Thomas was not fined despite roughing-the-passer call in the game.
The unnecessary roughness penalty of 15 yards resulted in the Broncos' longest play (33 yards) of the game, according to NFL statistics. The drive eventually led to a Denver touchdown pass from quarterback Case Keenum to Hamilton, which brought the Broncos to within six late in the game.
Exum finished the game with three tackles.
