Here’s the play … which didn’t draw a flag. pic.twitter.com/DA2f35G9tx
Alex Kozora of Steelers Depot points out that Warren’s game check is worth just that — $48,333 — meaning he’s effectively lost his pay for the entire week with this one hit. The play didn’t draw a flag during the actual game, nor did it force any player out due to injury, which makes it seem the fine all the more egregious. His agent replied to Pelissero’s tweet with the video, stating that they intend to appeal the fine.
