Three Dallas Cowboys players were fined by the NFL for penalties committed during the team’s season-opening loss to the New York Giants.
Linebacker DeMarvion Overshown, defensive end Donovan Ezeiruaku and running back Javonte Williams received fines totaling $33,409, according to the NFL’s weekly accountability report.
Overshown was fined $9,527 for a late hit on Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart with 9:38 remaining in the first quarter. The unnecessary roughness penalty gave New York 15 yards during a drive that ultimately ended with a touchdown.

Ezeiruaku received an $11,941 fine for grabbing a Giants player’s facemask with 2:10 remaining in the fourth quarter. The penalty helped New York drain the clock and secure its 28-20 victory.
Williams was also fined $11,941 for taunting Giants safety Tyler Nubin following a fourth-quarter touchdown.

Williams held the ball toward Nubin after crossing the goal line, drawing a 15-yard unsportsmanlike-conduct penalty that was enforced on the extra-point attempt. Brandon Aubrey subsequently missed the 48-yard kick, leaving Dallas eight points behind.
« I don’t know why I did it. It’s just out of character. You don’t got to worry about that no more, » Williams said afterward, according to NFL Network’s Jane Slater. « The damage is already done. It’s my fault. I’m better than that. I’m a pro. »
Dallas finished the loss with nine accepted penalties. The Giants were assessed 11 penalties of their own as the NFC East rivals combined for 20.
