The Pittsburgh Steelers and Cincinnati Bengals played a rather timid game by their own rivalry standards in Week 12.
Which is to say it wasn’t anywhere near as chaotic as the Steelers-Cleveland Browns fight featuring Myles Garrett and Mason Rudolph a few weeks back.
But it didn’t go without players eventually getting fine letters from the NFL.
According to Joe Rutter of Trib Live, Steelers running back Trey Edmunds got hit with a $28,075 fine for a blindside block on a kickoff return. Bengals linebacker Nick Vigil lost $21,056 for his horse-collar tackle.
Again, a rather tame set of fines given the history between the AFC North foes. But these infractions unfolded during a game where the Bengals cemented the worst start in franchise history and the Steelers benched a quarterback for a third-stringer, so it certainly felt like there weren’t much in the way of stakes influencing things.
