Pouncey Appeals His Suspension/Steelers-Browns Game Time Changes

PITTSBURGH (WPXI) – Pittsburgh Steelers’ center Maurkice Pouncey is appealing his three-game suspension handed down by the NFL following a brawl at the end of a “Thursday Night Football” matchup with divisional rivals the Cleveland Browns. SPN reports two officers have been appointed by the NFL to review the appeals and make decisions on the appeals of three players: Pouncey, Larry Ogunjobi and Myles Garrett. The league will reportedly issue “mass fines” to players who left the bench area when Myles Garrett ripped off Mason Rudolph’s helmet and smashed him over the head with it in the final minutes of the game.  Meanwhile, the NFL has changed the kickoff time of the Pittsburgh Steelers-Cleveland Browns game at Heinz Field on Dec. 1. Originally scheduled for 4:25 p.m., the game has been moved up to 1 p.m. The Steelers said the game was moved under the league’s “flexible scheduling” policy, which is in effect from Week 5 to Week 17. It will be the teams’ first meeting since Nov. 14 in Cleveland.
