The full list of fines stemming from last Saturday’s Bengals-Steelers contest has been released, with Pacman Jones absorbing the worst of it and Mike Munchak and Joey Porter being fined as well.
Ian Rapoport of NFL Media had the full rundown:
#Steelers coaches Joey Porter and Mike Munchak were each fined $10,000 for their actions last week.

In case you were wondering, that’s a total of $83,665 in fines, and it doesn’t even include Vontaze Burfict’s three game suspension and the financial implications of that.
Porter’s fine will raise some eyebrows. His presence on the field was a huge factor in the late penalties that helped Pittsburgh win the game, and particularly with the five-figure fine, there’s an argument he could’ve been flagged for entering the field of play, which likely would have at least offset one of the Bengals’ fouls. Munchak was flagged for his actions, too.
