Pittsburgh Steelers safety Minkah Fitzpatrick was hit with a hefty fine for a facemask penalty against the Baltimore Ravens. On the play, Fitzpatrick dragged Zay Flowers down by his facemask, and for it, he will pay a fine over $11,000.

This is not the first time that Fitzpatrick has been fined this season. He was fined during the last Steelers-Ravens game for a late hit. Fitzpatrick has been fined three times this season.

The Steelers were among the most-fined teams in the NFL in 2023, but have cut down on that significantly this year. Fitzpatrick is one of the more heavily fined Steelers this season as a result, but he is not even close to the league leaders in that metric.

He has struggled at times this season, though, and the Steelers have been looking for solutions on the back end. Can Fitzpatrick be part of that, or is he falling short uncharacteristically? If Pittsburgh is going to win a playoff game, Fitzpatrick will have to be a critical part of the turnaround.
