Browns’ Olivier Vernon Fined $10K For Smacking Jimmy Garoppolo In The Head (VIDEO)

Olivier Vernon might not have gotten penalized during the Monday Night Game against the 49ers, but the NFL certainly wasn’t going to let him get away with his actions during the game.

During a double reverse in the first half, the Browns defensive end could be seen smacking 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo in the head as he tried to get past him.
