The NFL just made Seahawks defender Leonard Williams' frustrating week even worse with some tough news the day before a massive showdown in Jacksonville

The NFL's weekly release of fines for player conduct from the previous week dropped this afternoon and Williams was docked a whopping $46,371 fine for unnecessary roughness that featured the use of the helmet. That play came with 0:48 remaining in the third quarter of Seattle's 38-35 loss to Tampa. That fine total ties what Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley was fined with after the Eagles' Week 1 win over the Dallas Cowboys.

Ironically enough, the only fine higher thus far this season was also from that contest — when Eagles defensive tackle Jalen Carter was fined $57,222 for spitting on Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott.

Leonard Williams' career numbers with the Seattle Seahawks

• 31 career games in Seattle
• 17.5 sacks as a Seahawk
• 27 tackles for loss
• 45 quarterback hits

It's the kind of news that can ruin a cross-country trip, which is what the Seahawks find themselves on ahead of a date with the 4-1 Jacksonville Jaguars tomorrow afternoon. But it isn't anything that a win in Week 6 won't help to make up for. Williams and the rest of the Seahawks defense will have their hands full with that assignment amid some of the injuries to the Seattle secondary.

One thing we know for sure? Williams will have a little extra aggression to take out on Jaguars offensive linemen after today's news from the league.
