NFL Fines 3 Head Coaches $250,000 Each for Conduct Toward Officials

Summary
$250,000 fines hit Mike Vrabel, Nick Sirianni and Aaron Glenn after the NFL ruled they crossed the line in interactions with game officials.
The league paired the punishment with a path to reimbursement, telling all three coaches they can earn the money back if they show better behavior going forward.
Those penalties rank as the second-largest ever imposed on an NFL head coach, behind only Bill Belichick's $500,000 Spygate fine.
The size of the fines signals a broader warning from the NFL as sideline confrontations with officials draw heightened scrutiny.
