Cowboys’ George Pickens Erupts After Costly Drop as NFL Fines Pickens, CeeDee Lamb $55,066

The penalties underscore the league’s tighter sportsmanship enforcement following a Week 2 celebration that drew no in-game flag.

Overview

  • Pickens received two $14,491 fines for a Week 2 touchdown celebration, one for a violent gesture and one for removing his helmet, according to the NFL.
  • CeeDee Lamb was fined $14,491 for the same celebration and $11,593 for a separate taunting penalty, bringing the duo’s total to $55,066.
  • The NFL announced 19 fines from Week 2 as part of an emphasis on policing celebrations and taunting via its collectively bargained Schedule of Fines.
  • In Week 3 at Chicago, Pickens caught a one-handed touchdown but later dropped a pass that was intercepted by Tremaine Edmunds, then slammed his helmet in a sideline outburst.
  • Lamb exited early in the Bears game with an injury as Dallas continues working the new Pickens-Lamb pairing into its offense.
