Trysten Hill wasn't a popular character following the conclusion of the Week 3 contest between the Seattle Seahawks and the Dallas Cowboys due to two questionable plays late in the game.
According to the NFL Network's Tom Pelissero, the Cowboys defensive tackle has been handed two fines for hits on Russell Wilson and Chris Carson.
#Cowboys DT Trysten Hill was fined $6,522 for unnecessary roughness — twisting Chris Carson’s leg — and another $6,522 for roughing Russell Wilson in the fourth quarter against the #Seahawks last week.

Late in the Cowboys game versus the Seahawks, Hill would make a tackle on Carson for a short gain. But while wrapping up Carson, Hill seemingly twisted the Seattle running back's leg, causing injury to him. Carson was discovered to have sustained a knee sprain and his status for Sunday's game remains undetermined.
Fans across the world, who were watching the game, called out Hill for his unnecessary action on Carson after the play was over. Then, earlier this week, Jamal Adams—the All-Pro safety and one of Carson's teammates—didn't take too kindly to what Hill did when the whistle was already blown in the Cowboys' defeat.
Besides the play involving Carson, Hill also committed a penalty on Wilson late in the fourth quarter. During his pursuit after the Pro Bowl signal-caller, Hill hit Wilson near the head, which is something the NFL is attempting to eliminate.
Altogether, Hill was fined $13,000 for his incidents against the Seahawks in Week 3. There's no doubt that fans in Seattle aren't going to be content with the light punishment Hill received for his apparent purposeful acts.
Due to the injury to Gerald McCoy before the season began, Hill is starting at defensive tackle for the Cowboys alongside Dontari Poe. While he was slapped with fines for his decisions last week, the Central Florida product will look to shift the narrative around him in Week 4 versus the Cleveland Browns.
