on the NFL Gameday Accountability page<\/a>.<\/p>\nWhile Queen was flagged on the penalty, Cleveland WR Jerry Jeudy was also flagged for offensive pass interference and the penalties offset, so it didn\u2019t cost the Steelers any yardage.<\/p>\n
Queen came in on a blitz and hit Gabriel in the head. Any hit to the quarterback\u2019s head and neck area is going to be subject to a penalty, and Queen\u2019s hit was also subject to a fine.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s the second time Queen\u2019s been fined this year for a hit to the quarterback. He was also fined $17,389 for a hit to the head of Seattle Seahawks QB Sam Darnold in the team\u2019s Week 2 loss.<\/p>\n
Queen was fined more for his hit on Gabriel as it was his second infraction for a high hit on a quarterback this season. It was one of 21 fines across the league in Week 6, as .9% of the 2,232 plays ran were subject to fines.<\/p>\n
Notably, S DeShon Elliott was not flagged for a hit to the head in the fourth quarter that was flagged.<\/p>\n
As the Steelers\u2019 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals was the first in Week 7 on Thursday Night Football, any fines from that game will be announced on Saturday, October 25.<\/p>\n
So far this season, Queen has 48 tackles, one sack and three passes defensed. It\u2019s his second season in Pittsburgh after being signed as a free agent from the Baltimore Ravens ahead of the 2024 season.<\/p>\n
All fines collected by the league are donated to the Professional Athletes Foundation to support Legends in need and the NFL Foundation to support safety and wellness of youth athletes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Pittsburgh Steelers LB Patrick Queen was fined for a hit on QB Dillon Gabriel in the Steelers\u2019 23-9…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":7897,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[37],"tags":[7002,7003,9,24,63,126,122,124,123,5627],"class_list":{"0":"post-7896","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-queens","8":"tag-dillon-gabriel","9":"tag-fines","10":"tag-new-york","11":"tag-new-york-city","12":"tag-nyc","13":"tag-patrick-queen","14":"tag-queens","15":"tag-queens-headlines","16":"tag-queens-news","17":"tag-trending"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7896","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7896"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7896\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7897"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7896"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7896"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7896"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
