Pittsburgh Steelers president Art Rooney II released the following statement on Sunday regarding assistant coach James Daniel, who reportedly tripped and hit a Patriots fan.
“We have conducted an internal inquiry into the alleged incident involving Assistant Coach James Daniel at the Patriots stadium Thursday night. After interviews with Coach Daniel as well as other personnel who witnessed the alleged encounter, we find no corroboration that Coach Daniel was involved in any physical altercation with a fan.
