Mike Tomlin and the Pittsburgh Steelers suffered their first loss of the season against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 2. The 33-17 defeat wasn’t just about scoreboard damage. It also left the team dealing with disciplinary fallout.

Linebacker Patrick Queen delivered one of the game’s most debated moments when he leveled Sam Darnold with a high hit late in the first half.

The blow, which caught the quarterback in the head and neck area, wasn’t flagged on the field. But the NFL stepped in after review, handing Queen a $17,389 fine.

For Darnold, it was a welcome reminder that even his first touchdown pass as Seattle’s starter came under fire.

From the television angle, the hit looked like a textbook case of roughing the passer.
