Minnesota Vikings star wide receiver Justin Jefferson was hit with a $13,659 fine for his unsportsmanlike touchdown celebration in last Sunday’s loss to the Detroit Lions, according to a report from Tom Pelissero of NFL Network.
The NFL fined Jefferson for violating Rule 12, Section 3, Article 1(d) for celebrating a touchdown with a “violent gesture.” Jefferson made a brief gun signal with his hands into the camera after scoring a 26-yard touchdown prior to halftime.
Here’s the clip of the touchdown, as well as the subsequent celebration from Jefferson:
