The Los Angeles Chargers place third with average fines of $15,797. In total, the team was fined for 21 infractions totaling $331,727.

A spokesperson from FruityKing commented on the findings,
“You’d think that fines would be pretty uniform across football, but it’s reassuring to see that the teams are treated fairly. For example, a team like the Cincinnati Bengals has some of the lowest total infractions at 18, but due to the severity, they have the second highest fine per infraction.
