The NFL has issued a total of $732,422 in fines to 32 players and the Pittsburgh Steelers and Cleveland Browns organizations as penalty for the brawl that broke out in the closing seconds of last week’s game.
The league on Saturday fined 29 players $3,507 apiece for “entering the fight area,” including Pittsburgh’s Minkah Fitzpatrick and Cleveland’s Jarvis Landry.
Browns defensive end Myles Garrett was suspended indefinitely and fined $45,623 for ripping off and swinging Mason Rudolph‘s helmet, hitting the Steelers quarterback in the head with it during Cleveland’s 21-7 win on Nov. 14.
Garrett lost his appeal this week and stands to lose about $1.2 million in salary for the missing the six games.
Rudolph, who was not suspended, was slapped with the biggest fine of $50,000. Pittsburgh center Maurkice Pouncey, who won an appeal reducing his suspension from three to two games, was fined $35,096 for fighting.
Browns defensive tackle Larry Ogunjobi was suspended for one game, but his $10,527 fine was rescinded upon appeal.
In addition, both the Browns and Steelers franchises were fined $250,000 each.
Fines collected go to programs for NFL former players.
Three Cleveland players were also fined for plays that happened before the melee.
Safety Damarious Randall was fined $28,075 for unnecessary roughness and was ejected for a hit to the head of Steelers receiver Dionte Johnson, which knocked him out of the game with a concussion.
Defensive end Chad Thomas was fined $21,056 for a hit on Rudolph. From the same play, cornerback Greedy Williams was fined $28,075 for unnecessary roughness on a hit that left Steelers receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster with a concussion, as well.
The Browns travel to Pittsburgh for the rematch Dec. 1.
