Steelers linebacker Payton Wilson fined for unnecessary roughness

Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Payton Wilson has been fined $8,480 for unnecessary roughness during the team's Week 2 loss to the New England Patriots. The penalty stemmed from Wilson's facemask infraction on Patriots running back Corey Kiner late in the game, which resulted in an automatic first down for New England. This fine marks the first for any Steelers player this season, as the team looks to reduce self-inflicted errors moving forward. Wilson's actions contributed to an adverse outcome for Pittsburgh in a game that continued to affect their standings.
