The DE’s injury forced a halt in the fourth quarter. Jordan collapsed after attempting to sack Brady on third-and-17 before getting up. But the NFL did not sit back.

The league fined DE Cameron Jordan $50,000 for faking an injury and kneeling in the fourth quarter on Monday night. They also penalized HC Dennis Allen $100,000 and the co-defensive coordinator, Ryan Nielsen, $50,000. They fined the Saints $350,000 for the actions, levying $550,000 in fines.

The Saints also responded to the allegations. They mentioned, “The New Orleans Saints deny any allegations of purposefully delaying the game on Monday evening. Defensive end Cameron Jordan felt foot pain following a third-down play and sought medical attention. He entered the blue medical tent and was examined by the medical staff and, following the examination, he was taped and able to finish the game.”
