The Cincinnati Bengals suffered a 44-38 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 13, but they aren’t the team making the major NFL fines headlines this time.
That honor belongs to the Steelers and, unsurprisingly, star wide receiver George Pickens.
The NFL announced two fines directed at Pickens totaling $20,462 due to two unsportsmanlike conduct violations.
Those fines were due to “taunting” and a “violent gesture,” the former for dropping a ball on a Bengals player after a catch and the latter for a finger gesture.
How did the Steelers feel about Pickens’ latest fine-worthy actions? Head coach Mike Tomin said “he’s just got to grow up, man,” after the game.
No Bengals players appeared on the list of fined players coming out of their loss to the Steelers.
