The nastiness from the Steelers-Baltimore game Sunday night left a few of the Ravens and one Steelers player light in the pocket.
The NFL fined four Ravens for their personal-foul penalties in the Steelers’ 43-23 victory at Heinz Field.
Ravens linebacker Courtney Upshaw was fined $20,000 for hitting Ben Roethlisberger late and striking him in the neck area. Linebacker Terrell Suggs was fined $8,268 for hitting LeGarrette Blount late after his forward progress had been stopped. Offensive lineman Jeremy Zuttah was fined $8,268 for unnecessarily striking Steelers defensive lineman Cam Heyward, and linebacker Albert McClellan was fined $8,268 for a late hit on a punt return.
The Steelers were called for three personal-foul penalties, but only linebacker Vince Williams was fined ($8,268) for taunting after the Steelers stopped a 2-point conversion attempt by the Ravens.

And if that's not already bad enough, it was the same amount Suggs was fined for the cheap shot on Blount. Taunting gets the same fine as a cheap shot.  _________________  If you're going to be a smart ass, you'd better be smart. Otherwise, you're just an ass. | |

| It's Goodell's attempt at fining Harrison, but since he's been a model citizen thus far he's got to take it out on some body. _________________  60 MIN 53 MEN 1 NATION STEELERS NATION  I am the MAN that created the MYTH that started the LEGEND
