NEW YORK — Cincinnati wide receiver Chad Ochocinco and New York Jets linebacker Bart Scott have each been fined US$20,000 by the NFL for violating the league’s uniform policy.
Ochocinco wore gold cleats during the Bengals’ 27-21 loss at Pittsburgh on Monday night. He was previously fined $25,000 for violating the league’s social media policy.
Scott was fined Friday for playing without having his chin straps snapped at all times — a safety issue — during the Jets’ 23-20 overtime victory at Detroit last week.
Minnesota wide receiver Bernard Berrian was also fined $5,000 for wearing yellow cleats during the Vikings’ 27-24 overtime victory over Arizona last Sunday.
