The consequences, reported by NFL.com’s Ian Rapoport, say that additional players have and will also be subject to fines.
As the clock ticked down on the Cleveland Browns’ 21-7 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers, Browns defensive end Myles Garrett found himself wrestling on the ground with Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph.
As the skirmish between the two continued into the end zone, Garrett ripped Rudolph’s helmet off of him, before swinging it and connecting with the Pittsburgh quarterback.
The Cleveland Browns defensive end later alleged during his appeal hearing that Rudolph called him a racial slur prior to the fight. Rudolph has denied the allegation and the NFL found no evidence to support Garrett’s claim.
