Learned #Bengals safety George Iloka will appeal his suspension. https://t.co/9oqqpnJtGj pic.twitter.com/DYPVdEOXeJ

Start suspending coaches for repeat violations. The coaches keep putting players out there. Seems extreme but the head injuries are more severe than any other sport.
Hell baseball managers get ejected after the warnings for bean balls.

Either way, the Steelers will gladly pay that price to remind little bro who the boss is, and knock them out of the playoffs in the process.

Brown didn't even flinch, got up right away. Also, it wasn't a malicious hit.

But at least the NFL can sit back and say 'don't let it get rough again fellas.'
League letter to Iloka: "You violently struck a defenseless receiver in the head and neck area. The Competition Committee has clearly expressed its goal of ‘eliminating flagrant hits that have no place in our game.'"#Bengals

Definitely. Should Marvin have benched him: Absolutely. The comments upthread are right: the coaches also need to be held accountable for this kind of nonsense.
Oh, and Shuster should have been ejected, fined, AND suspended.
