NFL Announces Harsh Double Punishment for DeMeco Ryans’ Texans as CJ Stroud Equals Lamar Jackson’s Record After Playoff Win

The Texans have made it to the divisional round after beating the Chargers, but not without some controversy. Two Houston players found themselves on the NFL’s fine list for their actions during Week 18. Will Anderson, known for his fiery passion, got slapped with a fine for unsportsmanlike conduct due to some illegal celebrations. And, let’s just say, a few vulgar moments on the field.
