What happened: The NFL fined Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London $23,882 for use of helmet during last week's game. The league announced the financial penalty Saturday following its standard review of infractions.

Why it matters: London signed a four-year contract extension with Atlanta in June and remains the primary target in the Falcons' passing game. The penalty incurs no suspension, keeping the offense intact as Atlanta attempts to stabilize its season.

By the numbers: London has caught 44 passes for 692 yards and 1 touchdown in 2026 through 9 games. Atlanta fell 34-17 to the Cincinnati Bengals in its last game on Nov. 8.

What to watch: London and the Falcons will look to halt their two-game losing streak in their next regular-season matchup.
