What happened: The hip-drop tackle accounted for $17,911 of the total and was not penalized on the field. A second Week 3 infraction made up the rest of the league's postgame discipline.

Why it matters: The decision shows how the league can still punish contact it deems illegal even when officials let play continue. For San Francisco, that turns a missed call into a formal discipline issue that can linger beyond the game week.

What to watch: Watch for any public response from Warner or San Francisco in the coming days. The next round of officiating on similar tackles will show whether crews take a tighter approach on the field.
