Mike Tomlin entraîneur des Steelers devra payer 100 000 pour interférence.

Distraction ou geste intentionnel? On ne le saura peut-être jamais, mais la sanction de la NFL est tombée aujourd'hui. Tomlin sera pénalisé et l'équipe pourrait perdre un choix au repêchage.

 "The National Football League fined Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin $100,000 for interfering with a play in progress in the 22-20 loss to the Ravens Thursday night. The league also said because Tomlin’s conduct affected a play on the field, a modification or forfeiture of draft choices will be considered after the final order of the 2014 draft has been determined.

Vice president of football operations Ray Anderson issued the fine because Tomlin momentarily stepped onto the field with 6:26 remaining in the third quarter when Ravens kick returner Jacoby Jones was returning a kickoff down the sideline. Tomlin stepped out of the way to avoid Jones, but, according to the league, Tomlin violated Rule 13, Section 1, Article 4 of the NFL rule book by being in the restricted white border that surrounds the playing field and stepping onto the playing field.
