In addition to the sting of a Super Bowl LVI loss, two Cincinnati Bengals players were also hit in the pocketbook.

NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported Saturday that Bengals defensive back Vernon Hargreaves III was fined $5,555 after he drew a flag for coming off the bench to celebrate in street clothes after safety Jessie Bates' interception.

Teammate Isaiah Prince was fined $4,722 for unnecessary roughness on the same play on which quarterback Joe Burrow was injured, NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reported. The Cincinnati right tackle drew a 15-yard flag on the play.

Coaching moves

The Cincinnati Bengals are expected to hire 49ers senior defensive assistant James Bettcher as linebackers coach, Rapoport and Pelissero reported.
The Pittsburgh Steelers have hired former Dolphins head coach Brian Flores as their senior defensive assistant.
