With the world watching on Monday Night Football, there were a few infractions that led to the NFL stepping in.<\/p>\n<p>The NFL announced punishment for three players from the matchup. The first was Raiders defensive end Malcolm Koonce, who is getting fined $12,172 for an unnecessary roughness that stemmed from him striking Cowboys offensive line Tyler Guyton in the helmet after a play.<\/p>\n<p>Cowboys wide receiver George Pickens is getting a heftier fine of $26,085 for unsportsmanlike conduct. After a touchdown in the second quarter, Pickens hugged the Raiders\u2019 goalpost, which is not legal. Since he\u2019s a repeat offender, his fine is a bit steeper than Koonce\u2019s.<\/p>\n<p>Pickens isn\u2019t the only Cowboy who got a fine. Defensive lineman DeMarvion Overshown has been fined $8,166 for a late hit in the second quarter. None of these should be a surprise. It was expected that Pickens and Koonce would get fined for their antics. Overshown\u2019s wasn\u2019t as serious, so it could\u2019ve gone either way. Regardless, the NFL is getting really strict with penalties, so they\u2019re going to keep fining players who aren\u2019t always following the rules. Pickens is looking at a pretty big fine next time if he slips up again.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Raiders Offense Faces Another Tough Test<\/h2>\n<p>The Raiders\u2019 offense was supposed to get back on track against the Cowboys\u2019 struggling defense. However, they only mustered 16 points in the loss. Things aren\u2019t about to get easier, as the Cleveland Browns have one of the best defenses in the NFL.<\/p>\n<p>Star defensive end Myles Garrett is the favorite to win defensive player of the year, and offensive coordinator Chip Kelly knows that he poses a serious problem.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think the one thing about Myles that when you look at him, obviously he\u2019s a freakish looking guy,\u201d Kelly said Thursday. \u201cHe\u2019s 270 something pounds and moves like a linebacker, but then when you watch his movement skill, you\u2019re like, there aren\u2019t many big people that move that way. \u2026 I don\u2019t know if there\u2019s anybody out there that can really simulate Myles, because as I said he\u2019s got 15 sacks right now and, and we\u2019re 10 games in. He\u2019s on track to set the record in the history of the league for sacks. So, he\u2019s as good as we\u2019re going to face out there.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Raiders Need Big Game From Ashton Jeanty<\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s hard to see the Raiders being able to pass against the Browns with Garrett being unblockable, so if they have any hope of scoring points, they need to move the ball on the ground. Ashton Jeanty has been a non-factor for most of the season, but the Browns aren\u2019t sleeping on his potential impact.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHis tape looks a lot better than his stats. You know, you look at his stats, he\u2019s averaging 3.7 [yards per attempt], which, you know, isn\u2019t great,\u201d Browns defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz said, via Raiders.com. \u201cBut then you watch his tape, and you don\u2019t see where that is because that guy is breaking tackles, making people miss. You know, there is like nothing to hit on him. He\u2019s like a bowling ball out there. 5-foot-8 and change and 215, 220 pounds. He\u2019s a power running back. I think that he\u2019s going to be a good player.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Austin Boyd has covered the Las Vegas Raiders and Los Angeles Lakers for Heavy.com since 2019.
