Steelers Cody Wallace fined $23,000 for illegal hit vs. Broncos, won't be suspended

Throughout the Pittsburgh Steelers Week 15 win over the Denver Broncos, Steelers center Cody Wallace took exception to what he felt was a late hit on teammate Antonio Brown. He responded by hitting safety David Bruton helmet-to-helmet in a vicious looking play which drew a personal foul penalty for the late hit.

As reported by several sources, Wallace was fined by the league office.
