Pittsburgh Steelers tackle hit with major fine for late hit vs. Colts

Pittsburgh Steelers offensive tackle Broderick Jones was fined $11,255 for a late hit on Indianapolis Colts cornerback Chris Lammons in Pittsburgh's 27-24 loss last Sunday.

Jones, who was flagged for unnecessary roughness during the game, earns the Steelers' second fine of the year. Tight end Darnell Washington was fined over $6000 in the team's win over the Los Angeles Chargers for an illegal blindside block.

Jones can appeal the fine. In 2023, the Steelers were the most-fined team in the entire NFL, but now rank near the bottom of the league through four weeks.

As for the Colts, pass rusher Isaiah Land was flagged for a roughing the passer call on what would have been a sack. He loaded all of his weight onto Steelers quarterback Justin Fields, and the hit will cost him $5083.

Those were the only two fines from the game, which ended up being a physical fight in the trenches throughout much of the game.

Notably, Steelers safety Minkah Fitzpatrick was not fined for what was called unnecessary roughness on the field after a hit on Colts wide receiver Adonai Mitchell. Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said the league office admitted to him that they made the wrong call on the field.
