Bengals defensive end Cedric Johnson was one of the players fined for his actions during the contest. According to Sports Illustrated's Jay Morrison , Johnson's infamous roughing-the-punter penalty on the ill-advised block attempt cost him a $6,164 fine.
Cole Holcomb of the Steelers received a $11,041 fine for a blindside block on special teams.
Notably, the hit that appeared to be a hip-drop tackle that injured Bengals rookie wideout Colbie Young didn't produce a fine letter from the NFL for the Steelers player in question.
