Yeah, that's fair

Harrison is a multiple offender so his fines are going to rise regardless if his hit was less harmful than Seymour celebrating Big Ben's touchdown with a punch.
Only reason Seymour isn't getting suspended is probably the NFL and some analysts believe Big Ben said something to instigate the punch. Seymour also apologized which might have helped his case unlike Harrison who threatened to retire or other stuff when he gets a fine.
