Iloka gets suspension lifted, still receives big fine for hit
Bengals safety George Iloka had his one-game suspension overturned, leaving him with a $36,464.50 fine for his hit to Antonio Brown’s head.
Iloka and Steelers receiver Juju Smith-schuster each got a onegame suspension from the NFL in the aftermath of Pittsburgh’s penalty-filled victory on Monday. Iloka hit Brown in the head while trying to break up his game-tying touchdown catch.
Smith-schuster was suspended for leveling linebacker Vontaze Burfict with a blindside hit and then taunting him by standing over him.
Smith-schuster has apologized for the taunting. He’ll sit out when the
AFC North-leading Steelers (10-2) host second-place Baltimore (7-5) on Sunday.
