Bengals running back Joe Mixon made waves around the NFL when he broke out a coin flip celebration after scoring a touchdown in last Sunday’s regular season finale against the Ravens. So much so, that he’s received a fine from the league office.
However, the Cincinnati ballcarrier doesn’t appear prepared to pay just yet.
Mixon was fined $13,261 for his touchdown celebration, in which he pulled a coin out of his glove and flipped it while in the end zone, poking fun at the league’s hypothetical coin toss that would’ve played out if the Ravens had beaten the Bengals. The coin toss, which was a part of the NFL’s amended playoff rules in the wake of Damar Hamlin’s medical emergency, would have determined home field advantage for the wild-card game between the two AFC North teams, but ultimately wasn’t needed as Cincinnati trounced Baltimore in Week 18, 27–16.
