Josh Allen fined over $14,000 for ‘violent’ touchdown celebration

Add Josh Allen to the list of players fined by the NFL this season.

The Bills quarterback, 29, was hit with a fine due to what the league called a “violent gesture” during Buffalo’s 28-21 win over the Chiefs last week.

Following a third-quarter touchdown by the QB, Allen appeared to make a throat slash gesture as part of his celebration with teammate Elijah Moore.

Allen was hit with a $14,491 fine, while Moore was fined $13,888 for a similar action on the same play. 

Additionally, cornerback Christian Benford was fined $14,714 for an unnecessary roughness violation on a play, in which he was ruled to have used his helmet illegally when he hit Kansas City receiver Xavier Worthy.

And running back Ty Johnson got a $10,778 fine for a facemask violation.
