You don't reduce a fine by that much unless you know you screwed a team out of its glory.
Reducing it by that much is basically saying "that's our fault, but we can't take it away completely or we'll look even dumber."
The pain of being a Bengals fan.
The NFL actually has a mechanism for admitting wrong decisions, and it is not the reduction of fines. It is the straightforward admission that a bad decision was made. They do it all the time, but they did not do that in this case. Your inability to account for other factors does not mean that none exist.
