The San Francisco 49ers have rolled through the first three weeks of the season, most recently defeating the New York Giants on Thursday Night Football this week to the tune of 30-12.

What else has the team has been racking up besides wins? Fines.

Last week, cornerback Deommodore Lenoir was fined $5,618 for an unnecessary roughness penalty incurred from hit out of bounds against Steelers running back Najee Harris in the first half of Week 1.

This week, wide receiver Jauan Jennings earned himself a fine for an unnecessary roughness penalty in Week 2 against the Los Angeles Rams, and it’ll be much more expensive—$21,855.

Jennings was fined for the penalty that occurred at the 2:00 mark during the 4th quarter of the 49ers’ win over the Rams, which was the lone San Francisco fine from Week 2.

There was one other fine from the game, as the NFL fined Rams safety Russ Yeast $4,940 for a helmet-to-helmet hit on 49ers wideout Deebo Samuel, which wasn’t called a penalty during the game.
