That should be a fine.

That should be a fine.

Not if it was inflicted on a Steelers player.

Let me see it in real-time before I make a judgment.

The issue here is how soon before the Ref blew the whistle. Here's the two rules:

Article 6: Unnecessary Roughness (h) using any part of a player's helmet (including the top/crown and the forehead/"hairline" parts) or facemask to butt, spear, or ram an opponent violently or unnecessarily.

Article 14: Piling On. No player shall fall upon any prostrate player (other than the runner), or upon a runner after the ball is dead.
Penalty: For piling on: Loss of 15 yards and an automatic First Down.
Note: An official should prevent piling on a prostrate or helpless runner before the ball is dead. When opponents in close proximity to such a runner are about to pile on, and further advance is improbable, the covering official should sound his whistle for a dead ball, in order to prevent further play and roughness. See 7-2-1-b

In the first rule, it has to be determined that it was either "violent" or "unnecessary." For the second rule, the question is when the whistle was blown. However, according to the rules, the whistle SHOULD have been blown already.

With that said, and after reading through both rules a few times, unless the real time video shows something very different, this play should have been flagged. I cannot however, see in the rules where this play is reviewable by the commissioner for a fine. Other rules specifically say that it is allowed.

See the above post. Unless I'm missing something, it can't be fined. I hope I'm wrong.
