The league on Saturday fined 29 players — including Pittsburgh’s Minkah Fitzpatrick and Cleveland’s Jarvis Landry — $3,507 apiece for “entering the fight area.”

Defensive end Chad Thomas was fined $21,056 for a hit on Rudolph. From the same play, cornerback Greedy Williams was fined $28,075 for unnecessary roughness on a hit that left Steelers receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster with a concussion, as well.
