Chandon Sullivan fined
#Vikings DB Chandon Sullivan was fined $9,444 for unsportsmanlike conduct - removing his helmet in frustration after officials blew dead an obvious fumble, costing Sullivan a touchdown for the second time last week against the #Colts.

Lol thats one Id chip in on to pay. F those refs.
It wasn't so much about removing his helmet, its the fact that he chucked it about 25 yards out onto the field. The refs sucked, but he can't react like that, 15 yards in a close game could have cost this team the 2 seed. Gotta be smarter.

Instead of correcting a wrong, they doubled down on it.

The flag was the right thing, the refs calling back the TD wasn't, not ejecting Gilmore for targeting JJ wasn't, honestly I am surprised that they stuck with calling Ryan's sneak short since it was so loud I know that nobody could hear a whistle, but by watching the side judges running out onto the field to spot the ball before the second effort you could tell the play had been ruled done. Anyway bad call, correct penalty.@"JimmyinSD" said: It wasn't so much about removing his helmet, its the fact that he chucked it about 25 yards out onto the field.

Anyone know if Gilmore was fined?
Edit: Quick Search and yes, $15000 and change.
I don't blame Sullivan but yes it could have cost the game but he is human and the refs were wrong
He should be fined for his play today… :o
