Bengals defensive back George Iloka’s paycheck is lighter this week.
The NFL fined Iloka $23,152 for unnecessary roughness for a helmet-to-helmet hit on Steelers tight end Heath Miller on Sunday.
Miller did a great job catching the pass and holding onto the ball even though Iloka drilled him. The 15-yard penalty on Iloka helped move the Steelers into field goal range.
The $23,152 amount is the standard fine for a helmet-to-helmet hit.
