Overview
- Allen and Moore made the throat-slash motion after a one-yard rushing touchdown in the third quarter that pushed Buffalo’s lead to 28-13 against Kansas City.
- The $13,888 figure exceeds the NFL’s $11,593 base taunting fine by $2,295 based on the league’s review of the gesture.
- The discipline reflects the NFL’s ongoing push to curb celebratory acts it views as promoting violence, with similar gestures drawing automatic fines.
- The identical hit lands unevenly, amounting to just over 5.5% of Moore’s one-year $2.5 million salary while being negligible against Allen’s $36 million 2025 cap number.
- Moore’s limited usage underscores the cost, as he logged 17 snaps in Week 9 and has six receptions for 106 yards this season in a game Buffalo won 28-21.
