Eagles' Cooper DeJean fined for pulling a Allen Iverson on Rachaad White in Week 4 win over Bucs

DeJean was flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct in the first quarter after he tackled Tampa Bay's running back Rachaad White for a 4-yard gain and then stepped over him.

The legendary move cost the Eagles a 15-yard penalty.

DeJean isn't the only Eagles player who was fined in Week 4. Linebacker Jalyx Hunt was fined for two incidents. He owed $6,834 for a blindside block in the first quarter and $6,834 for a hip-drop tackle in the third quarter. While the blindside block was called on the field, the hip-drop tackle was not.

Eagles Racking Up Taunting Penalties

The NFL isn't messing around when it comes to calling out taunting this season, and the Eagles are racking up the penalties.

Linebacker Nolan Smith was fined $11,593 for taunting in Week 1 against the Dallas Cowboys, and Jalen Carter was fined $11,593 for taunting in Week 3's win over the Los Angeles Rams. Carter was also fined a whole game check of $57,222 for spitting on Dak Prescott.

Head coach Nick Sirianni has now had to stress weekly that while he wants his team to play with emotion, he wants them to do so within the rules of the game.

“The NFL can do whatever they want to do there,” Sirianni said of the league cracking down on taunting penalties. “It's our job to play by the rules of how they're calling it. Year-in, year-out there's emphasis that the NFL puts on a certain rule. They go through their studies just like we go through our studies. ‘Hey, we’ve got to get better at this, or we’ve got to officiate this better.’ I love that. I love that they go through that process, and this is no different.

"It's just a different type of penalty that we're seeing and it's getting called more. So, it's our job to play within those rules, keep our composure and play within the rules of the game.”

The only reason Sirianni doesn't appear too upset is likely because the Eagles are undefeated, but the penalties are bound to catch up to them at some point.
