FILE - In this Sunday, Nov. 22, 2020 file photo, New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton reacts on the sideline in the first half of an NFL football game against the Atlanta Falcons in New Orleans. The NFL has fined the New Orleans Saints $500,000 and stripped them of a 2021 seventh-round draft pick for violating league COVID-19 protocols, a person with direct knowledge of the discipline told The Associated Press on Sunday, Nov. 29. New Orleans was fined as a repeat offender; Payton previously was docked $150,000 and the team $250,000 because the head coach failed to properly wear a face covering against the Raiders in Week 2.
