Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker James Harrison has been suspended one game by the NFL for his hit on Cleveland Browns quarterback Colt McCoy.
The helmet-to-helmet hit injured McCoy’s hand and left him sprawled out in the middle of the field, and it was later determined it also caused a concussion.
Harrison was flagged for a 15-yard, unnecessary roughness penalty on the play, and this is hardly the first such incident involving the linebacker.
He also didn’t help his cause when he stated after the game that it shouldn’t have even been called a penalty and a fine or suspension was not warranted.
The linebacker did appeal the suspension, but it was upheld. He will miss Monday night’s pivotal game against the San Francisco 49ers.
