Center Maurkice Pouncey said today he was fined $7,500 by the NFL for a late hit in Sunday’s loss in Houston.

Pouncey was penalized 15 yards for unsportsmanlike conduct when he blocked Texans linebacker Connor Barwin to the ground after a 14-yard run by Mewelde Moore in the second quarter.

Pouncey is the third Steelers player to be fined by the league this season.

run of the mill penalties and fineable offenses need to have some serious segregation occur in the near future.

[Discipline of Steel]

Dont count on it. We are now 5 for 4 in fines per game.

The bad thing is all of these Steelers are now potential repeat offenders.

When you make a new law, you make new criminals.

Agreed. When did every penatly become worthy of a fine? There's protecting players and then there is this Bulll Sh**. These are grown men playing a violent game. They understand they are going to take a shot now and again.
