During the game that ultimately ended in a loss for the Detroit Lions against the Washington Commanders, a teammate of Jared Goff was fined by the NFL for a touchdown celebration.
The Detroit Lions‘ experience in this year’s NFL playoffs ended with a debut and a quick exit. After falling to the Washington Commanders at Ford Field, Jared Goff‘s team was eliminated from Super Bowl contention.
In addition, it was reported that a key teammate of the QB was fined following his touchdown celebration.
As every weekend, the NFL reviews cases where players from various teams have been fined for different reasons. In this case, Dan Campbell‘s team had one of their key offensive players among those penalized.
Wide receiver Jameson Williams, after scoring on a 61-yard end-around run against the Commanders, decided to celebrate his achievement in a somewhat controversial manner, prompting the league to step in and penalize him after the game.
The news was reported by journalist Tom Pelissero through his X (formerly Twitter) account @TomPelissero:
The NFL fined #Lions WR Jameson Williams $25,325 for unsportsmanlike conduct (obscene gestures) — a PG-13 rated TD celebration in last week’s playoff loss to Washington.”
