Overview
- Baker Mayfield was fined $14,491 and Bucky Irving $6,349 for a Week 13 touchdown celebration that included the prohibited nose-wipe gesture.
- Other Week 13 fines for “violent gestures” included DK Metcalf and Nico Collins at $14,491 each and Kyu Blu Kelly at $5,722.
- The league logged 32 fines in Week 13, totaling $373,060, which ranked among the season’s highest weekly tallies.
- Most discipline was issued after review rather than on the field, with many gesture-related fines not drawing in-game flags.
- The NFL banned the nose wipe earlier this year citing gang connotations; fines are scaled to player contracts, can be appealed, and appeal outcomes are not publicly disclosed.
