Cowboys star hit with $13k fine making waves around NFL after 2-TD performance vs. Commanders
The fine follows a league crackdown on celebrations that mimic drinking, with three players penalized this week, according to ESPN.
- On Friday, the NFL fined Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson $13,611 for an 'imitation of shotgunning a beer' after his touchdown in the team's 37-20 Week 2 win over the Washington Commanders.
- The NFL's crackdown on alcohol-mimicking celebrations faces criticism as observers point to the league's $250 million annual Bud Light partnership as evidence of hypocrisy in the enforcement strategy.
- San Francisco 49ers All-Pro Kyle Juszczyk received a $14,926 fine on Thursday for an identical 'imitation of chugging a beer' celebration, as the league issued three such penalties this week.

- As the Cowboys prepare to face the Baltimore Ravens in Brazil on Sunday, the league's anti-celebration policy faces renewed scrutiny because stadium backdrops feature Miller Lite logos.
