Baltimore Ravens safety Eric Weddle did his best to keep Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown out of the end zone late in Sunday’s night game at Heinz Field and that included him even grabbing a good handful of facemask. While Brown ultimately scored on the play due to his tremendous effort, Weddle wasn’t flagged for grabbing a hold of the wide receiver’s facemask. In fact, while the referees on the field missed the infraction, it appears so too did the league office.
According to Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk, Weddle was not fined this past week for face-masking Brown on that play and that really is quite confusing.
