The moment arose when Jalen Hurts completed a pass to Dallas Goedert on a 1st-and-10 with 9:14 left in the fourth quarter. But Jamin Davis grabbed the TE’s facemask before John Ridgeway emerged and got the ball off his hands. Ultimately, the Commanders scored a field goal, bearing the Eagles their campaign’s first setback.
Philadelphia Eagles and Commanders’ fanbase stand divided over the fine
As per Tom Pelissero, “The NFL fined [Commanders] LB Jamin Davis $10,609 for unnecessary roughness — grabbing the facemask of [Eagles] TE Dallas Goedert, who fumbled and suffered a shoulder injury that landed him on injured reserve. No flag was thrown.”

Another user claimed Davis should pay Goedert’s medical expenses, and they need to fire the referees.
He should pay Goederts medical bills and the refs should be fined aswell. Ridiculous that this wasn't called and ridiculous that it probably resulted in Goederts injury.

Moreover, this user is wondering if the ref does his job correctly, there is no penalty. But if he cannot do so, they penalize the player.
So if the ref does his job no fine but since he missed it the player gets fined 🧐

Another user claimed it is a $5 fine for a regular person.
That’s like a $5 fine for normal people

This user claimed they should fine the referees for failing to make these types of calls.
What did they do to the refs? Refs need to be fined also for missing these type of calls

Another user expressed thoughts over a fine but no penalty calls.
