Clark: Penalties Are Worse Than Fines

Pittsburgh (93-7 The Fan) - Pittsburgh Steelers safety Ryan Clark joined the Fan Morning Show live in the studio to recap the Steelers' win over the Baltimore Ravens. Clark addresses the situation when all the Steelers' players were talking to the media about the NFL and officials targeting them for illegal hits.

Clark has a lot of respect for coach Sean Kugler this season and what he has been able to do with his offensive line after all the injuries they have sustained.

Clark said he feels worse after the NFL handed down the two fines on Haloti Ngata and Jameel McClain. The on-field penalties and assessed yardage would have hurt the Ravens more in that game instead of taking away the players' money.

Clark and his teammates know they are in prime position to win the AFC North and have three important games to finish out the season. Two against division rivals (Cleveland Browns and Cincinnati Bengals) and one against the New York Jets.

They will be taking one game at a time and focusing this week on the Cincinnati Bengals.

The Fan Morning Show also talked to Clark's wife to get a point of view from the wives of all the players when their husbands are hit and injured on the field.
