NEW YORK (AP) Linebacker Joey Porter of Pittsburgh and running back William Green of Cleveland were fined $10,000 each by the NFL on Tuesday for their fight before Sunday's game in Cleveland.
The Browns' Terrelle Smith was fined the same amount for also getting involved in the altercation.
Porter, and Green were both ejected after the fight, which occurred less than an hour before the game, won 24-10 by the Steelers. Smith, Cleveland's fullback, was not thrown out.
The fight occurred when Porter and Green turned toward each other and began wildly throwing punches. Smith, who said he was trying to protect Green, also threw a punch during the fight. One of Porter's punches connected, bloodying Green's lower lip.
Both Green and Porter accused each other of spitting during the altercation, as well.
