Overview
- The league issued a $10,777 penalty for Johnson’s end-zone celebration, as first reported by NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero.
- Johnson lay on the turf and pumped his hips twice after a 52-yard score, a display the NFL labeled an obscene gesture.
- The total equates to $5,388.50 per thrust, an unusual breakdown widely noted in reports.
- Recent similar gestures by Rico Dowdle and Travis Kelce drew $14,491 fines, with no clear public explanation for Johnson’s lower figure.
- The fine became public after the Bills had already played their next game, underscoring questions about timing and transparency in discipline.
