Steelers' Clark fined $40K for illegal hit

NEW YORK, Nov. 9 (UPI) -- Pittsburgh Steelers safety Ryan Clark was levied a $40,000 fine Wednesday for an illegal hit on Baltimore Ravens tight end Ed Dickson.

The helmet-to-helmet hit came in the second quarter of Pittsburgh's loss to Baltimore Sunday.

Clark was flagged for a 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct call after launching himself into Dickson just after the ball bounced out of the receiver's hands.

It was the second fine of year for Clark. He was also assessed a $15,000 penalty for an out-of-bounds hit on New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski in an Oct. 30 game.
