The Cincinnati Bengals suffered a 44-38 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 13, but they aren’t the team generating the most NFL penalty headlines this time around.

That honor goes to the Steelers and, unsurprisingly, star wide receiver George Pickens.

The NFL announced two fines against Pickens totaling $20,462 for two unsportsmanlike conduct violations.

Those fines were for “taunting” and a “violent gesture,” the former for throwing a ball at a Bengals player after a catch and the latter for waving a finger.

How did the Steelers feel about Pickens’ recent fine actions? Head coach Mike Tomin said after the game, “He just needs to grow up, man.”

There were no Bengals players on the list of players fined following their loss to the Steelers.
