The NFL decided to fine Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins for his post-touchdown celebration in Week 10 against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Higgins, the first pick of the second round this year, scored against the Steelers and dunked the ball over the goalpost.

According to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, the NFL hit him with an unsportsmanlike conduct fine that checks in at $9,291.

Higgins has been a bright spot for the Bengals all season and that was the case during the loss to the Steelers too. He led the team in receiving with seven catches for 115 yards and the touchdown.

Funnily enough, right after the game, he posted on Instagram about his celebration and rightfully wondered if the move would get him in hot water with the league:
