Steelers' Joey Porter facing 'clear fine' for interfering with Bengals players
  • 8 years ago
The Bengals' playoff implosion Saturday night was one for the ages , an epic meltdown when they seemingly had the game in hand .
NFL spokesman Michael Signora said this in a statement: As is the case during the regular season, any play or situation that involves a violation or potential violation of player safety rules or unsportsmanlike conduct - whether penalized or not during the game - is reviewed for possible discipline as per our standard protocol.
The Steelers can't be too mad at the NFL regardless of what happens fine-wise - the flag on Jones moved the Steelers' winning field-goal attempt up and was just another layer in a disastrous final seconds for Cincy.
The bottom line is Porter - a notably, ahem, chatty player when he was in the NFL - has no business being in the Bengals' defensive huddle and talking with opposing players out in the middle of the field while there's game action going on.
