New England Patriots special teamer Brenden Schooler received an unnecessary roughness penalty late in the first half of New England’s win over the Pittsburgh Steelers.
But the NFL deemed that just getting flagged on the play wasn’t enough punishment for Schooler.
The league on Saturday also fined Schooler $4,861 for his actions, according to ESPN’s Mike Reiss. Schooler was penalized for making contact with a Steelers player after the whistle, per Reiss.
Schooler, who was the only Patriots player fined from the game, has been a key piece of New England’s special teams unit since joining the organization last season as an undrafted free agent.
