NFL RedZone — an around-the-horn live highlight show demonstrating all the action on NFL Sunday — is back for Week 3 of the 2025 season.

The Los Angeles Chargers slipped past the Las Vegas Raiders to reach 2-0 in Week 2 but didn’t escape the NFL league office and fine letters. According to the NFL’s weekly fine updates, Chargers safety Derwin James was issued a hefty $17,389 fine for unnecessary roughness in the second quarter of the win over the Raiders.

James, however, wasn’t the only NFL player fined for a “leg whip” tackle. Dallas Cowboys tight end Brevyn Spann-Ford was fined $5,370 for the same action, while Tampa Bay Buccaneers tackle Charlie Heck was charged $8,722.

It's too early to call the matchup against Los Angeles a must-win, but it's fairly important as week 3 games go.
