Tyreek Hill’s big play could cost him big money.
The Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver scored a touchdown Thursday on a 75-yard catch and run in his team’s 42-27 win over the New England Patriots in the NFL’s season opener. But while Hill was taking it to the house, he turned around and held up a peace sign.
ProFootballTalk’s Mike Florio, citing a “source with extensive knowledge of the league’s rules,” reported Friday that Hill should have been flagged for taunting, as he directed the gesture at a defender. He obviously wasn’t, but the NFL still could dish out a fine, which starts at $9,115 for a first offense.
The only catch is that the NFL doesn’t announce fines, so we won’t necessarily find out if Hill gets one unless he tells the media.
