On Saturday, the NFL announced the fines for players from the previous week for violations like illegal hits and inappropriate celebrations. We expected to see Pittsburgh Steelers guard Mason McCormick get hit right in the wallet for his big hit on Cleveland Browns defensive end Jared Verse. However, McCormick dodged a bullet and was not on the list.
The move went viral on social media after McCormick dumped Verse on his head on a field-goal try. The move drew a 15-yard penalty but no one is complaining. Verse had talked plenty of trash in the days leading up to the game and even went so far as to walk straight into Cam Heyward's pregame work on the field for no reason. But the beef between McCormick and Verse goes back to the first matchup between these
two teams, when Verse punched McCormick in the head during an argument. You can bet McCormick was coming for some payback no matter what.
