Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren was fined a whopping $48,333 for a collision in last week’s game against the Cleveland Browns. The Steelers upset the Browns 26-22.
In case you forgot what the hit was, you can watch the play in the Tweet below. As NFL reporter Tom Pelissero pointed out, Warren wasn’t even flagged for the play. Warren’s agent, David Canter, reposted it with the message that they would be appealing the fine.
The hit itself seemed fairly innocuous, even after several rewatches. Warren and the Browns defender were on a line to each other, both guys braced for impact and dropped their shoulders, and their heads clanked together. No one was hurt on the play and again, the officials on the field saw nothing wrong with the hit.
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Led by red-hot Paige Buecker’s 24 points, No. 12 UConn crushed its second straight ranked conference opponent and its fourth Top 25 team, rolling to a 94-50 win over No. 21 Creighton on Wednesday night.
The Huskies (11-3, 3-0 Big East) jumped on the Bluejays early, much as they did against previously undefeated Marquette on Sunday en route to a 31-point win.
UConn made 11 of 14 shots in the first quarter compared to 4 of 15 for the Bluejays and the Huskies led 27-14. Bueckers had the first nine points of a 14-0 run in the second quarter and the Huskies led by as many as 28 and took a 53-29 advantage into halftime.
Aaliyah Edwards had 16 points and 11 rebounds for her sixth double-double in seven games and the two freshmen who have helped the Huskies get back on track, Ashlynn Shade and KK Arnold, had 18 and 17 points, respectively.
Bueckers finished 8-of-12 shooting, including 4-of-5 on three-pointers and made all four of her free throws. She also had seven assists, five rebounds and four steals with just one turnover. She is 8-of-11 from behind the arc in her last two games.
UConn won its seventh straight after starting the season 4-3, losing to teams that were or are now Top 10 teams. But as injuries contributed to that start, the injury bug struck again as Aubrey Griffinwent down in the third quarter with a leg injury contesting a Creighton layup attempt and had to be helped off the court.
Emma Ronsiek had 13 points and Lauren Jensenadded 12 for the Bluejays (10-3, 1-2), who were outrebounded 45-29 and shot just 25 percent. A team that averages nine threes and 75 points a game were just 4-of-24 from long range.
