The Cincinnati Bengals ended their participation in the 2024 NFL regular season with a win over the Pittsburgh Steelers, but it was not enough to reach the playoffs as the Denver Broncos defeated the Kansas City Chiefs. A teammate of quarterback Joe Burrow, in addition to being out of the postseason, was upset to see a fine in his name.
Every Saturday afternoon, the NFL publishes its official bulletin of players fined for violent or unsportsmanlike actions from the previous week. In this case, the league organization published the list for the last game date of the regular season.
In the case of the Bengals, Joe Burrowās teammate who was fined by the NFL is none other than Germaine Pratt, who was penalized for unnecessary roughness when he used his helmet to hit Steelers running back Najee Harris. The Cincinnati linebacker received the most expensive fine of Week 18.
Pratt ends his regular season by having to pay the NFL $22,511 for his action. The fines collected are donated to the Professional Athletes Foundation to support Legends in need and the NFL Foundation to further support the health, safety and wellness of athletes across all levels.
