Nothing seems to go right for the Saints. The franchise is running an arduous route in the abysmally performing NFC South. The franchise sank to 4-9 after a loss to the Buccaneers. But that deficit was not enough. The NFL imposed a monstrous fine on DE Cameron Jordan and the Saints coaching staff for faking an injury. The ongoing drama erupted among NFL fans.
Following the Buccaneers’ third-and-17 play, Tom Brady huddled up the offense for fourth and 10. However, Cameron Jordan took a knee and pointed to his lower left leg. 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.

This user proposed some new rules.
They should make a new rule… if you require an injury time out you may not return during that drive.
1. For your own safety if it is a real injury.
2. To help prevent fake injury time outs.— Big D (@darrenc777) December 10, 2022
This user is wondering why they took no fine here.
