Nick Herbig Fined For Hip-Drop Tackle Against Chargers

Related Topics: Pittsburgh Steelers

The Pittsburgh Steelers didn’t play their best football in Week 10 against the Los Angeles Chargers. Most of their problems came on offense. That group only scored 10 points, with the lone touchdown coming in garbage time. The Steelers’ defense had a decent day, especially when it came to pressuring Justin Herbert. He got sacked five times. However, Nick Herbig got fined $6,656 for unnecessary roughness on his sack on Herbert.

The reason given is that it was a hip-drop tackle. That foul has become more of a point of emphasis for the NFL recently.
