The Cleveland Browns‘ win over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Thursday Night Football in Week 12 of the 2024 NFL season left behind a controversial play that resulted in a significant fine. Mike Tomlin‘s team received no penalties.
Wide receiver George Pickens is known for his confrontational style, and in some cases he has been punished for it. In this case, the Steelers player was involved in the action and was the target of an unsportsmanlike conduct, although he sent strong statements to the Browns after the game.
Every Saturday, the National Football League announces the players suspended and fined for unsportsmanlike or violent actions during the previous week. The Browns are one of the franchises fined by the tournament organization, which always keeps a close eye on every detail in the games.
Which Browns player was fined for an action against the Steelers?
The Cleveland Browns player fined after the game against Tomlin’s Steelers was none other than safety Grant Delpit, who was fined $11,255 by the NFL for unsportsmanlike conduct for taunting and grabbing Pickens’ mouthguard.
