Allen Park – Detroit Lions defensive tackle A’Shawn Robinson escaped an additional fine from the NFL after he was ejected for throwing a punch against the Pittsburgh Steelers last Sunday. Several of his teammates weren’t so lucky.
The altercation, at the end of the Lions’ 20-15 loss to the Steelers, came on a kneel-down. Robinson aggressively fired through the line on the snap, and after the whistle, took an open palm strike to the facemask from Steelers center Maurkice Pouncey. As several players pushed and argued, Robinson threw a pair of punches at guard Ramon Foster.
