Jets' Allen Lazard Challenges NFL Fine Over Gun-Like Celebration

Lazard argues against the penalty, claiming lack of prior warning from the league.

  • Allen Lazard, a wide receiver for the New York Jets, expects to be fined by the NFL for a celebration gesture deemed as gun-like during a game against the Denver Broncos.
  • The celebration resulted in a 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty, which Lazard argues is unfair due to no prior warning from the NFL about such gestures.
  • Lazard compared the situation to being penalized for a new driving rule without prior notification, emphasizing the lack of clarity from the league.
  • The NFL has previously fined other players for similar gestures, including Atlanta's Drake London and the Giants' Malik Nabers.
  • Lazard plans to contest the fine, potentially involving the NFL Players Association or Jets' coaches, due to the perceived lack of communication from the NFL.
