Mike Tomlin might be right about the NFL being too penalty happy this season. But he’s wrong about one thing.
24 hours after telling reporters he didn’t expect to be fined for comments he made Sunday, the league has reportedly fined Tomlin $25,000 for being critical of officiating – and the league – after referring to some of the flags as a “joke” following Pittsburgh’s win over Atlanta.
That report comes via USA Today, who writes:
“The Pittsburgh Steelers coach has been fined $25,000 for criticizing officials, a person with knowledge of the situation told USA TODAY Sports.
