The NFL has handed down fines to Chicago Bears defensive end Austin Booker for two illegal hits on Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love during last Saturday night's game. According to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero, Booker was fined a total of $11,636 for his actions, including one hit that knocked Love out of the game with a concussion. While Love's helmet-to-helmet contact initiated the controversial call, Booker was flagged and penalized regardless. The Bears' defense struggled against backup quarterback Malik Willis, but Chicago's bend-don't-break defense, coupled with quarterback Caleb Williams' heroics, pulled off an improbable 22-16 overtime win. Meanwhile, Packers cornerback Keisean Nixon was not fined for a late hit on wide receiver DJ Moore early in the first quarter. However, Moore scored the game-winning touchdown in overtime, leaving Nixon draped over him in the end zone. The NFL's decisions have sparked debate, with some questioning the consistency of the league's rules and penalties.
