Pittsburgh Steelers RB Jaylen Warren has been hit with an unexpected fine. And it’s not a small amount. According to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, he was fined $48,333 for illegal use of his helmet in Monday night’s 26-22 win over the Cleveland Browns.
Take a look at the play.
As Pelissero notes, Warren was not fined for this play. It came on third down, a good playcall getting him open down the left sideline for a 30-yard gain. At the end of the run, Warren lowered his head into the Browns’ defender, which is where the fine comes from.
