sudpung168 Two players banned for Monday Night savagery

sudpung168 Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster and Cincinnati Bengals safety George Iloka were suspended one game after being violently attacked during a Monday Night game in Week 13.

The ‘Iron Man’ rookie was suspended by the NFL for his violent behavior in the fourth quarter when he blocked a pass on Bengals linebacker VonTez Burfict in the helmet area and showed unsportsmanlike behavior, causing his teammates to drag him away before he was retaliated, with Burfict being cartd off the field.  sudpung168

That leaves the 21-year-old out of Sunday’s Week 14 home game against the Baltimore Ravens. 

As Iloka went off-ball, he hit Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown in the head during a mid-air tackle in the end zone. Luckily for the Pittsburgh star, he was unharmed.  

However, the Cincinnati quarterback has appealed, with the decision due Wednesday (local time), and if the suspension stands, he will miss the afternoon game against the Chicago Bears that same day. 

The suspended players will not be paid for the game, with Smith-Schuster losing $27,353 and the 26-year-old losing $266,544. ( sudpung168 )
