Monday night's Steelers-Bengals matchup featured several brutal hits, two of which brought down the suspension hammer from the NFL on Tuesday.
The league suspended Pittsburgh receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster and Cincinnati safety George Iloka each for one game without pay for violations of safety-related playing rules.

Smith-Schuster is going to appeal the ban, it was reported. Jon Runyan handed down the suspension and made it clear the taunt played a role in his decision, as Smith-Schuster stood over Vontaze Burfict after the hit. Bryant and Rogers likely move up a spot on the depth chart for a Week 14 game against the Ravens at home on Sunday night.
