That foot is costing Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin big time! During a game against the Baltimore Ravens, Tomlin stuck his foot onto the field during Jacoby Jones kickoff return. Tomlin was fined $100,000 but the league decided that wasn’t enough.
The Steelers will also lose a late round draft pick according to ProFootballTalk.
A late-round draft pick will indeed be forfeited by the Steelers, regardless of whether the Ravens miss the playoffs. In the unlikely event that the tiebreaking process for the Ravens goes deep enough to consider net points and the Ravens miss the playoffs because the drive in question ended in a field goal and not a touchdown, the penalty will be enhanced.
As the league has announced, the specific penalty will be determined once the full draft order is finalized, which will happen after the postseason concludes — and after all compensatory picks are distributed.
