The NFL fined L.A. Rams linebacker Nate Landman $11,111 for successful on a defenseless participant this week. The penalty got here within the second quarter of the Rams’ Week 4 win over the Philadelphia Eagles, as Landman was flagged for successful on receiver Dontayvion Wicks. The Eagles ended up punting a number of performs later.
Landman was beforehand fined $11,111 for an pointless roughness “use of the helmet” penalty in opposition to the San Francisco 49ers in Week 1.
It’s already the third vital roughness penalty in opposition to Landman in his final seven video games, relationship again to the 2025 playoffs and the Carolina Panthers.
Landman beforehand prevented a advantageous within the 2026 playoffs for this hit on Panthers receiver Jalen Coker.
okay, maybe as insurance coverage for the linebacker place transferring ahead. Landman signed a three-year, $22 million extension with L.A. in 2025, however he hasn’t been as impactful since that deal and it’s beginning to make extra sense why the Atlanta Falcons let him stroll after solely three seasons together with his authentic workforce.
Landman primarily simply tackles gamers and that’s about it. Typically the tackles are loud and highly effective and probably painful, which is all inside the bounds of soccer. Typically they ship free first downs and get him fined, in order that’s one thing he might want to clear up transferring ahead.
