Bengals defensive end Cedric Johnson has been fined $6,164 by the NFL for roughing Steelers punter Cameron Johnston. The incident occurred late in the third quarter of the Bengals' Week 3 loss to Pittsburgh, where Johnson collided with Johnston's plant leg, resulting in a 15-yard penalty. This infraction extended a Pittsburgh drive that concluded with a touchdown pass from Aaron Rodgers. Additionally, Steelers linebacker Cole Holcomb received an $11,041 fine for a blindside block during the game, while Steelers defensive back Jaquan Brisker was not fined for a tackle that resulted in Bengals rookie receiver Colbie Young's knee injury.
