Patrick Mahomes Fined $14,069 for Gun Gesture During Bills Game

The NFL penalized the Chiefs quarterback for a touchdown celebration deemed a 'violent gesture,' continuing its crackdown on prohibited actions.

Patrick Mahomes was fined $14,069 by the NFL for mimicking a gun gesture during a touchdown celebration in the Chiefs' loss to the Buffalo Bills on November 17, 2024.
The gesture occurred in the fourth quarter after Mahomes threw a touchdown pass, marking the Chiefs' first loss of the season with a final score of 30-21.
The NFL has increased enforcement against gun-related gestures this season, warning players of penalties and fines for such actions.
This is not Mahomes' first fine; he was previously fined $50,000 in 2023 for verbally abusing an official during another game against the Bills.
Chiefs head coach Andy Reid was also fined $100,000 for criticizing officials after the same game, reflecting a contentious matchup for the team.
