The Seattle Seahawks incurred fines after their 31-10 loss to the Buffalo Bills, tying them with the Cleveland Browns for most fines in Week 8 and leading the NFL in total fines ($28,699).
Derick Hall was fined $11,510 for roughing the passer on Josh Allen, leading to a skirmish between Hall and teammate Jarran Reed, with Bills offensive lineman Dion Dawkins intervening.
Hall’s fine is not up for debate; it’s $11,510.
Geno Smith received the next heaviest fine of $11,255 for “taunting” in the 3rd quarter, throwing the ball towards Bills defensive lineman Dawuane Smoot out of frustration for a hit from cornerback Taron Johnson.

Smith acknowledged in a press conference the need to control his emotions.
Riq Woolen was fined $5,934 for taunting Keon Coleman after a pass break-up in the first quarter.
I think I figured out why Riq Woolen got fined for taunting. Watch the gesture at the end. It was on the TV copy too but just as they switched cameras. pic.twitter.com/OuKNlScRnS

Bills linebacker Joe Andreessen was fined $4,421.29 for “use of the helmet” roughness when he tackled Laviska Shenault Jr on a kickoff return. A much lighter fine than Zach Charbonnet in the Lions game, but still a fine.
This is uh… yeah, NFL said it was a fine. Not me. pic.twitter.com/LIU8TA1atP
