Baker Mayfield surely is pumped to have Bucky Irving back.
But in a celebration during last week’s game, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ QB-RB duo apparently took things just a tad too far.
The NFL has fined both of them for doing a nose-wipe celebration after a touchdown.
Mayfield’s fine is $14,491.
Irving’s fine is $6,349.
The fines are different because it has to do with a proportion of a given player’s contract.
Here’s what it looked like:

People likely have plenty of thoughts on this.
One of the common comments underneath Pelissero’s post is “No Fun League.”
Make of it what you will, but players should shy away from that celebration this weekend if they’d like to keep their full allotment of Christmas shopping money available to themselves.
