Pittsburgh (AFP) - Pittsburgh Steelers defensive end Cameron Heyward said Wednesday that he was fined by the NFL for wearing eye-black tape reading "Iron Head" in tribute to his late father's cancer fight.

Heyward tweeted that the league had levied the fine, which reportedly will cost him $5,787, for painting the words in white on the black paint used under his eyes during games.
