Cleveland Browns defensive end Jadeveon Clowney lost some money this past week thanks to a silly action by him during the Monday night game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
On Saturday, it was reported that the NFL fined Clowney $12,875 for throwing the shoe belonging to Steelers wide receiver Chase Claypool in the second quarter of the Browns’ 26-14 Monday night loss at Heinz Field.
Not only did Clowney draw a 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty for the incident, the flag extended the Steelers’ drive, which culminated in their first touchdown of the game. The Steelers never relinquished that lead after that score.
