Ravens WR Rashod Bateman Fined Over $25K for Verbal Abuse of Official

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman received a $25,154 fine on Saturday for 'verbal abuse of an official.' The incident took place during the second quarter of last week's 28-6 victory against the Miami Dolphins. Bateman, who believed he was held by a Miami defensive back, directed profanity at an official. He was initially flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct on the play, with the NFL imposing the additional financial penalty six days later. Bateman was among 26 players fined by the league this week, with the news breaking on November 9, 2025.
