The play in question that Gholston got fined for was a roughing the passer penalty after hitting Broncos quarterback Brett Rypien in the fourth quarter of the game. Gholston made the hit on Rypien right after the ball was thrown, but was penalized for putting his weight on the quarterback.
Through three games so far in 2020, this is the first time a Bucs player has been fined this season.
Despite the penalty and fine, Gholston has had a solid year for the Bucs’ defense, recording 10 tackles, three tackles for loss and a sack.
