NFL (No Fun League) at it again in the fines department.. Josh Allen fined $14,491 and Elijah Moore fined $13,888 after "The NFL has fined both of them for what was deemed a “violent gesture.”

 

So this happened late 3rd quarter (1:34 to be exact) when Allen got pushed in for the TD to extend the lead to 28-13. NBC Sports writes, "After Josh Allen ran for a touchdown in the third quarter of Sunday’s win over the Chiefs, he celebrated with teammates including wide receiver Elijah Moore. As Allen and Moore faced each other, they both made finger guns."

 

Josh Allen and Elijah Moore will join the fine list with:

1. Christian Benford (unnecessary roughness - use of the helmet) - week 9 also

2. Ty Johnson (unnecessary roughness - facemask) on a punt - week 9 also

3. Joey Bosa (unnecessary roughness - tripping)

4. Dorian Williams (unnecessary roughness - blindside block)

The most violent sport played by the most violent men. And fines handed out for finger guns. Stuff little kids do when playing pretend.

Really not even violent anymore.. in 10 years we may even be paying 1k for season tickets for flag football

I thought it was only a fine if you also said “pew, pew”.

And I bet Josh pays Moore's fine for him.

Moore just has more money now

The NFL is dumb

[RyanC883]

Looked like they were pointing at each other.  Really different than the machine gun thing.  Totally weird.

Sticks & stones may break my bones, But NFL celebrations emotionally hurt me to the tune of $14,491.

 

By the way how did they arrive at such specific dollar amounts?

[stevestojan]

Is there a sign outside the stadium that explicitly says it’s a finger-gun free zone?

I would love to chair the meeting where these are discussed ….

Not gonna complain. Heaven forbid they looked at the Chiefs and said "NEENER NEENER" while making antlers on their head with their hands. 

 

Would have been looking at a multiple game suspension. Possible castration.

[JoshAllin]

It didn't really look like either a throat slash or finger gun since josh didnt even do a complete motion. Though it seems from the vid angle Moore may have done a half a slash at most

League has been clear on this issue. Anyone surprised hasn’t been paying attention.

Not to be confused with finger cuffs,,,
