For the second time this season, Vikings receiver Justin Jefferson has been fined for a touchdown celebration.
Against the Lions on Sunday, Jefferson caught a touchdown pass with 37 seconds left in the first half. At the tail end of his celebration, he made a quick gesture to the Fox camera that looked like the firing of a gun.
As noted by Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com, the rules prohibit “any violent gesture.” Jefferson was fined $13,659.
In Week 4, Jefferson was fined for taunting, after making the “too small” gesture in the direction of an opponent during a touchdown celebration.
Jefferson has a chance to score more touchdowns, and draw more fines for his celebrations, on Sunday night, when the Vikings host the Packers on NBC and Peacock.
