Jon Beason Fined for Facemask

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Carolina Panthers linebacker Jon Beason has been fined $5,000 by the NFL for grabbing Detroit Lions quarterback Daunte Culpepper by the facemask on a play that didn't result in a penalty.

Beason stopped Culpepper on his tying 2-point conversion attempt midway through the fourth quarter on Sunday. Replays showed Beason grabbed Culpepper by the facemask and his head twisted. But there was no flag and the Panthers went on to win 31-22.

A league spokesman said Friday night that Beason was fined for unnecessary roughness.

I agree with this call, but...

John Beason saved the game for us. Though it was sort of a foul play, the refs didn’t see it and it prevented the TD. I wouldn’t shake my head if he did it again.

It was a blown call

But that really is a slap in the face to the officiating crew to fine a foul that wasn’t even called

Good to know the NFL stands by their officials

According to Beason...

on Primetime with the Packman, he said it was not intentional. He plans to donate the $5,000 to Packers choice of charity.
