Saskatchewan Roughriders' defensive tackle Miles Brown faces maximum fine for Banjo Bowl incident. The CFL penalized Brown for a controversial low hit on Winnipeg's Chris Streveler, costing him half a game check - approximately $2,500.
The play in question occurred late in the third quarter when Brown, after penetrating the Blue Bombers' offensive line, made contact with Streveler's lower body. Officials promptly flagged it as roughing the passer.
This hefty fine serves as a reminder of the league's commitment to player safety. Riders fans hope Brown will adjust his technique to avoid future penalties and protect both opponents and his bank account.
