Washington Commanders linebacker Frankie Luvu was not called for a roughing the passer penalty during last week's divisional playoff game versus the Detroit Lions that would have nullified a pick 6. However, the NFL announced a $16,883 fine for Luvu on Saturday, saying he was being punished for a "blow to the head/neck."

Goff signed a four-year, $212 million contract extension in November 2024, three years after his trade from the Rams. The Lions cannot cut Goff at a financial gain until 2026, per Over The Cap. A post-June 1 designation then would save $35 million with $34.6 million in dead money.

The Washington defender is best remembered by Eagles' fans for being the player that knocked out Jalen Hurts when the teams met last month at Northwest Stadium.

Quan Martin intercepted Jared Goff and returned it 40 yards for a touchdown with 5:25 left in the second quarter of the divisional playoff game at Ford Field in Detroit. On the return, Goff was knocked to the ground by Washington linebacker Frankie Luvu, whose helmet struck the lower part of Goff’s facemask.
