Steelers Awaiting Punishment Decision Over Jared Goff Incident

The Pittsburgh Steelers walked into Detroit and picked up a major victory over Jared Goff and the Detroit Lions.

With a win over the Lions in Week 16, the Steelers earned their third straight win in the latter half of the season. Pittsburgh defeated Detroit 29-24 to earn its ninth win of the season.

In the win over the Lions, Goff was involved in a controversial penalty, which included defensive end Alex Highsmith.

After the Steelers sent a few men rushing toward Goff, Highsmith was called for a penalty for tripping the Detroit Lions quarterback. The play costs the Steelers a 15-yard penalty in the second half of the matchup.

There's a chance that Highsmith will be fined for the play against Jared Goff.

The NFL gameday operations will likely review the play before announcing their decisions on penalties/fines for players involved in illegal actions each week.

A fine for tripping, which is also in the same category as kicking, striking, and kneeing, may cost the player involved a $12,172 fine for the first offense.
