Report: Mike Tomlin Fined $25K for Ripping Refs After Falcons vs. Steelers

Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin will reportedly be fined $25,000 for criticizing the officiating following last week's 41-17 win over the Atlanta Falcons.

According to Jarrett Bell of USA Today, the fine was levied after Tomlin called the officiating "a joke" and added: "We've got to get better as a National Football League. Man, these penalties are costing people games and jobs. We've got to get them correct. So, I'm pissed."

After speaking with NFL Executive Vice President of Football Operations Troy Vincent on Monday, Tomlin said he didn't expect to be fined.
