Jalen Hurts says he's focused most on winning, but given that his performance puts the Eagles in different territory financially for his next contract, winning could be more of a challenge for Philadelphia.

Eagles safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson wasn’t flagged when he delivered a hard hit on Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco in the fourth quarter of Super Bowl LVII, but he was fined.

Gardner-Johnson got a $14,111 fine for lowering his head to initiate contact. Gardner-Johnson made clear that he didn’t agree with it.

“Tell me why I got fined from the hit in Super Bowl,” Gardner-Johnson wrote on Twitter.

Gardner-Johnson’s agent confirmed to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network that he will appeal.
