However, in Super Bowl LVIII, only one player, Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Nick Bolton, was fined for a penalty. Bolton was ordered to pay a total of $8,238 for a horse-collar tackle committed during the game against the San Francisco 49ers. The incident occurred with 11:59 left in the second quarter, costing the Chiefs 15 yards and rewarding the 49ers a first down. Despite no other in-game penalties resulting in fines, Bolton's fine was confirmed by the NFL.

In the Super Bowl matchup, the Chiefs and 49ers combined for six penalties in total, with K.C. ultimately emerging victorious in overtime. Bolton, a two-time Super Bowl champion, played a crucial role in the Chiefs' win by leading the team with 13 tackles against San Francisco. His performance included a tackle for loss and two quarterback hits. Although surgery sidelined him for nine games during the 2023 regular season, Bolton had previously excelled as one of the Chiefs' top tacklers, amassing a career-high of 180 takedowns in 2022.

The fines collected by the NFL from safety-related violations are directed towards the Professional Athletes Foundation and the NFL Foundation. Despite his infraction during the game, Bolton's impactful contributions on the field contributed to the Chiefs repeating as Super Bowl champions in a thrilling matchup against the 49ers.
