The Pittsburghย Steelers announced on Thursday that the NFL has determined that they will notย docked a draft pick for theย Mike Tomlin sideline incident that occurred during last year’s Thanksgiving Day game against the Ravens.
Previous reports indicated that the league would only take action if it impacted the Ravens playoff seeding.
The NFL fined Tomlinย $100,000 forย interferingย with a kick return from Jacoby Jones that appeared toย force him to turn back into the field of play, instead of running down the sideline.ย
This is obviously great news for Pittsburgh who could really use all the draft picks they can get as they look to build a younger nucleus in the coming years.
