Arizona Cardinals cornerback Kei’Trel Clark says the NFL hit him with a $6,651 fine after he wrote “Glory Be 2 God” on his eyeblack during Arizona’s Week 1 win over the Los Angeles Chargers.
Clark shared the news on social media this week and followed it with a simple reaction: “I need answers”
The league’s letter told him, “During the Arizona Cardinals-Los Angeles Chargers game on September 13, 2026, you were in violation of the NFL Uniform and Equipment Rules,” and added that he had displayed a personal message on his eye black. The NFL also cited the rule language barring players from wearing or displaying personal messages unless they have been approved in advance by the league office.
The letter went on to say, “NFL policy on uniforms and equipment and the 'On Field' program is disseminated to players through playbook inserts, locker-room posters, and training-camp videos. In accordance with the document entitled '2026 GAME-RELATED DISCIPLINE', which was among the playbook materials distributed to you earlier this season, the League is imposing on you a fine of $6,651. Please be advised that the minimum fine for a first offense has been reduced by application of Appendix U of the CBA.”
Clark later posted, “I got to report to God at the end of my days on the day of judgement! I'll always give God the Glory and out loud. All good.”
This is not the first time he has been fined for a small uniform issue. Last season, Clark was fined nearly $6,000 for wearing a streaming black towel when Arizona was in its road white uniforms.
He also drew a $5,797 fine from the NFL for wearing an unapproved black towel during a game against the Colts.
Against the Chargers, Clark was on the field for nine defensive snaps and also played four snaps on special teams.
If Garrett Williams is again unable to play because of injury, Clark could be back in the mix when the Cardinals host the Seattle Seahawks at State Farm Stadium in their home opener.

Lions Fans Had Another Reason To Be Furious During Bills Loss
The Lions had enough to process after a 41-31 loss to the Bills on Thursday Night Football, but the broadcast gave frustrated Detroit fans one more thing to notice in real time. Buffalo moved to 2-0 with the win, and Josh Allen did plenty of damage with five total touchdowns, yet the scoreboard on the screen briefly told a different story.
During the telecast, a graphic error incorrectly listed the Bills at 3-0 and the Lions at 1-2, a mix-up that was especially annoying for a fan base already watching its team absorb a costly defeat. It was the kind of small mistake that usually gets brushed off, except in a game like this it only added to the irritation as Detroit tried to make sense of a night that got away from it.

Bills Had Dan Campbell Fuming Before This Game Was Even Settled
The Lions had enough offensive production to keep themselves in the fight at Highmark Stadium, but the bigger issue was how quickly the game slipped away. Jared Goff threw for 327 yards and four touchdowns, yet Detroit spent most of Thursday night chasing Buffalo after the Bills built a sizable lead behind a string of Lions mistakes and a defense that never found steady footing.
Dan Campbell was left visibly frustrated by the way the night unfolded, with the Lions piling up 10 penalties and taking repeated blows up front as Goff was sacked four times. Even with the late push, Detroit could not turn the score into a true comeback, and the loss served as another reminder that the margin for error shrinks fast when the discipline and defensive execution are not there.

Lions Fans Had One More Reason To Hate That Primetime Loss
The Thursday night loss in Buffalo was already a rough one for Detroit, and it came with an extra annoyance for Lions fans watching at home. The Bills beat the Lions 41-31 in a game that pushed Buffalo to 2-0, while Josh Allen piled up five total touchdowns and kept the home side in control through the prime-time showcase.
Still, the broadcast itself gave the night a strange aftertaste. A graphic error briefly flashed the Bills as 3-0 and the Lions as 1-2, and that was enough to set off a wave of social media chatter about a supposed Week 3 script leak. It was just a mistake, but for a fan base already dealing with a frustrating result, it only added another layer to a night they would rather forget. [Read more 🡒]
