STEELERS QB MASON RUDOLPH HIT WITH $50,000 FINE FOR ON-FIELD BRAWL
“We are extremely disappointed in what transpired last evening at the end of our game,” the statement said. “There is no place for that in football and that is not reflective of the core values we strive for as an organization. We sincerely apologize to Mason Rudolph and the Pittsburgh Steelers.
“Myles Garrett has been a good teammate and member of our organization and community for the last three years but his actions last night were completely unacceptable. We understand the consequences from the league for his actions.”
Garrett apologized for his actions and in an appeal hearing, last week accused Rudolph of using a racial slur prior to the fight escalating. Garrett acknowledged that he should have contained himself better.

Rudolph denied using a slur. He was fined $50,000 for his role in the fight.
