Though it went unflagged on Sunday in Week Four late in the first quarter, a blindside block from Houston Texans defensive lineman Kurt Hinish on the interception return from cornerback Steven Nelson at 5:01 of the first quarter led to a $4,879 fine for the Pittsburgh native, the NFL announced Saturday afternoon.

As you can see on the interception return by Nelson, Hinish (#93) can be seen landing a blindside block on Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth in the middle of the field.
