There were no fines for Saturday’s Wild Card Round matchup between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Buffalo Bills, with one play in particular standing out for avoiding a fine. Late in the third quarter, Pittsburgh Steelers CB Joey Porter was hit from behind by Buffalo Bills OG Connor McGovern, a play that concussed Porter and knocked him out for the game. There was no flag on the play, and the NFL decided the play wasn’t enough to fine McGovern for.

It’s not a huge surprise that there was no fine given the lack of a flag, but it’s a play that got the attention of the Steelers.
