The Pittsburgh Steelers saw two players get fined for their actions in the team’s Week 13 loss to the Arizona Cardinals.
LB Elandon Roberts was fined $21,855 for unnecessary roughness on a hit that was penalized against Cardinals RB Emari Demercado with 7:59 left in the first quarter.
It’s a tough play for Roberts, as Demercado lowered his head at the last second and Roberts was committed to making the hit. Even so, it’s a play the NFL wants to eliminate from the game, and despite there not being much he could do, Roberts was penalized and fined.
