Emmanuel Sanders has been fined $15,000 and the Steelers $35,000 by the NFL for an incident during a Oct. 21 game against the Bengals in which Sanders allegedly faked an injury.
NFL Executive Vice President of Football Operations Ray Anderson issued the fine. In a letter to Sanders and Steelers general manager Kevin Colbert, Anderson wrote: "Despite the account given by Sanders during our November 2nd meeting, neither the video sequence of the pertinent plays nor the observations of the on-field official support Sanders's contention that he was in severe pain, either before, while falling to the ground, lying on the ground, or when he was being assisted in leaving the field."
