Maurkice Pouncey’s Sense Of Loyalty Rooted In Family

Maurkice Pouncey made a bad decision that cost him and his team when he began to attack Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett, throwing fists and feet, after watching him assault his teammate, Mason Rudolph, by striking him over the head with his own helmet.

For that act, the 10th-year center was suspended for three games and fined over $30,000, though the suspension was reduced to two games. His backup, B.J. Finney, handled his own during the first game of his suspension, but on Sunday, Pouncey will also sit out the rematch against Cleveland—though, of course, so will Garrett, who is serving an indefinite suspension.
