The mystery is over for the Cincinnati Bengals when it comes to the NFL’s fine letter sent to star wideout Ja’Marr Chase.
Somewhat, anyway.
Chase got word this week that he was being fined for recent actions and was confused before later revealing that the league accused him of a “violent gesture” he made during a touchdown celebration.
Fast forward to the weekend and NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero shared the actual footage of the touchdown celebration that got Chase fine.
It is…going to be appealed, to say the least.
The league has been cracking down on violent gestures, yes. But Bengals wideout Andrei Iosivas just went through this process with the NFL too, winning his appeal over a supposed borderline violent gesture of his own.
Chase will undoubtedly appeal this. But he has to hope it goes better than the appeal he just lost over his massive fine due to an altercation with an official earlier this season.
