The Pittsburgh Steelers saw one of their wide receivers hit with a questionable fine from the NFL due to a Week 7 altercation.

Courtesy of the NFL's weekly accountability report, Steelers wide receiver Brandon Smith was fined $4,916 for unnecessary roughness (use of the helmet) stemming from his interaction with New Orleans Saints cornerback Martin Emerson Jr. in Week 7.

Smith, who was elevated from the practice squad for the Steelers' Week 7 game against the Saints, had a heated confrontation with Emerson while blocking on a run play during the first quarter. After some additional back-and-forth following the whistle, including the Steelers wide receiver appearing to be struck in the head, Smith got into Emerson's face, and the two collided helmets, drawing an unnecessary roughness penalty.

Unfortunately for the Steelers, Smith wasn't the only player on offense who was hit with a seemingly egregious fine, as massive tight end Darnell Washington was penalized nearly $15,000 for what the league deemed an "illegal celebrations and vulgar acts" violation.
