According to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, the league has levied a $21,218 fine for unnecessary roughness against Houston Texans S Jalen Pitre. The fine stems from a big hit in the third quarter from Pitre, it came just a few plays before Smith-Schuster fumbled, which ended the drive and led to a Houston touchdown. Pitre was hit with a 15-yard penalty for unnecessary roughness on the play.

I think that was a bang, bang play, but Pitre did lead with helmet.
In addition to this being a typical Cheffers officiated game, I thought there was a lot of cheap shots by the Texans. I guess the Texans wanted to play tough, but it just seemed cheap and good officiating could have stopped that early in the game.
