Antonio Brown pulled a pretty wild move to break a tackle last Sunday.
It looks like that wild move is going to cost him.
According to multiple reports, the Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver has been fined $8,200 for kicking Cleveland Browns punter Spencer Lanning in his team’s 30-27 win. NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport was the first to report the news.
Chances are you’ve seen the play by now. With Lanning standing directly in the way between him and the open field, Brown leaped into the air and delivered a vicious karate-style kick directly to the poor punter’s face.
The Steelers’ wideout was flagged 15 yards for unsportsmanlike conduct during the game, although thankfully Lanning didn’t suffer a serious injury on the play.
Comparatively speaking, Brown’s fine isn’t too hefty, but hopefully it’s enough to deter others from delivering flying kicks to opponents’Â faces in the future.
