Steelers safety Mike Mitchell has been fined for his controversial low hit on Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Alex Smith, but Mitchell's biggest fine, $48,620, was the result of a helmet-to-helmet hit on running back Charcandrick West on Sunday.

Mitchell's low hit on Smith with 16 seconds left in the third quarter earned a $9,115 fine. The $48,620 from the West play, which occurred late in the second quarter on a gang tackle, was a result of Mitchell's repeat-offender status.


Mitchell is now 1 more personal foul or play like the helmet to helmet not called from suspension. It is about time and my only suggestion is teams send in a tape of the last 5 years of all of is helmet to helmet hits to keep on file for future reference.
