According to NFL reporter Ian Rapoport, Pittsburgh Steelers center Maurkice Pouncey is planning to appeal his three-game suspension. Pouncey was involved in the crazy fight that broke out between the Steelers and Browns Thursday night at the end of the game. Pouncey came to the defense of his quarterback Mason Rudolph after he was hit by Browns’ defensive end Myles Garrett.
Pouncey made no apologies for his actions and stood by his decision to defend his quarterback. It is hard to see the NFL drop his suspension lower than two games. It’s doubtful they want to see Pouncey on the field in two weeks when the Steelers and Browns square off again.
