The Buffalo Bills' season came to an end last weekend with a 38-24 AFC Championship Game loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. Although Josh Allen is due for a hefty raise, the NFL left the Bills quarterback with a hole in his pocket on Saturday.
According to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero, Allen was fined $15,000 for throwing a football at Chiefs defensive end Alex Okafor's' head.

After Allen threw the ball, a small brawl broke out between the teams, with several players involved. It occurred during the fourth quarter and didn't have much of an impact on the game.

Bills offensive linemen Dion Dawkins and Joe Feliciano also received $10,000 fines for the scuffle.
Allen led the Bills to their first AFC East title since 1995 and helped Buffalo go 13-3 while setting several franchise records. According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, he is expected to land a massive contract extension this offseason.
