Part One Week Six 2017 Fine Blotter: Steelers get dinged the maximum on late hit on Smith...

• Pittsburgh Steelers:  Mike Mitchell, doubled fine for a repeat offender, and two separate fines on a late hit to Alex Smith.  He's appealing, but, as of right now, he's fined a reported $66,851 for a late hit on Smith that included a face mask.  He's appealing.
• This is his third fine for unnecessary roughness within two years.
• The Steelers, by rule, are responsible for $50,000 of that fine toward their Club Remittance number.
• As a result of that and a bevy of Week 1 fines totalling over $70,000, the Steelers are now well over the first threshold of $121,540.  ($134,081)  As a result, unless this fine gets significantly reduced (at least one of the repeat-offender statuses removed), the Steelers have been fined $50,000 for their dirty hits, including four major unnecessary roughness $24,000+ jobs.
