NFL hits Chiefs WR Hollywood Brown with news he should have been expecting following Week 5 loss to Jaguars

Hollywood Brown shouldn't be surprised by getting fined

This fine is about as obvious as it gets. The NFL isn't going to tolerate any form of fighting, and Brown was caught red-handed. Football is obviously an emotional game, but you can't cross the line and take swings at others players.

Brown got caught up in the moment, and likely instantly regretted his actions. All he can do now is put the incident behind him and try to remember not to let it happen again. Brown is otherwise having a very solid season, racking up 26 receptions (a team-high) for 257 yards and one touchdown.

Patrick Mahomes has established a good chemistry with Brown, who has become a safety blanket for the star quarterback. It's been encouraging to see after Brown missed most of the 2024 season with a shoulder injury. If he can remain healthy and productive, the Chiefs may want to keep him around beyond the 2025 season.

Brown signed a one-year contract with Kansas City during the offseason, which can be worth up to $11 million. Still just 28 years old, Brown will look to secure a long-term contract if possible. We still haven't seen what the Chiefs' passing attack could look like with Brown, Xavier Worthy, and Rashee Rice on the field at the same time, but we're getting close.
