NFL fines Williams and Lenoir for their actions during 49ers-Chiefs game originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area
Matchups between the 49ers and Kansas City Chiefs always produce high-intensity moments, and Week 7 last Sunday at Levi’s Stadium was no different.
Two separate incidents resulted in fines for four players: 49ers left tackle Trent Williams ($11,817 fine), 49ers cornerback Deommodore Lenoir ($11,817), Chiefs safety Bryan Cook ($8 $442.64) and Chiefs wide receiver Skyy Moore ($9,356.83).
The Super Bowl LVIII rematch was marred by plenty of drama, including a late-game brawl between Williams and Cook. After Cook hit Williams on the side of the helmet while the lineman was on the ground, Williams got up and hit Cook on the back of the helmet and then was ejected from San Francisco ultimate defeat 28-18.
Although Cook hit Williams first, the NFL fined him less than the 49ers star.
Kansas City’s Bryan Cook, who hit Trent Williams first, was fined $8,442.64 for unnecessary brutality (striking/kick/knee).

Like Williams, Lenoir was also fined for unnecessary brutality after a post-match brawl that took place on the field and involved Moore. Moore was also fined less than Lenoir.
Both incidents occurred after San Francisco’s fifth straight loss to Kansas City was decided, and it was evident that frustrations were boiling. The 49ers will look to turn things around in Week 8 against the Dallas Cowboys Sunday at Levi’s Stadium.
