According to NFL reporter Tom Pelissero, Pittsburgh Steelers safety Minkah Fitzpatrick was fined $10,527 for taunting the Los Angeles Rams as he jogged in for a touchdown two games ago.
Fitzpatrick scooped up a fumble forced by defensive tackle Javon Hargrave and scampered into the end zone. On the way to the end zone, Fitzpatrick looked back and waved to the Rams defenders in pursuit. This didn’t draw a flag by the officials at the moment but when the league reviewed the play felt like Fitzpatrick took things too far.
