Cardinals coach Jonathan Gannon was fined $100,000 for his role in a sideline altercation with running back Emari Demercado in Sunday's 22–21 loss to the Titans, according to a report from ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Gannon's reaction to Demercado's dropped ball fumble that should have been a walk-in 72-yard touchdown made waves as he was seen following his running back around screaming at him on the sideline.

Gannon apologized to Demercado in a team meeting on Monday, and said he "didn't feel great" about how he reacted to his running back's mistake.

Now Gannon will really not feel great about it after paying $100,000 to the league for his reaction.
