Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown had to know it was coming.
While the NFL fines news went live on Saturday, Brown’s name came up tucked into the much bigger items. There, the league fined him $5,481 for unsportsmanlike conduct.
According to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, Brown jumping in the Salvation Army kettle fell under the “illegal celebrations and vulgar acts” umbrella.
Brown is far from the first NFL player to be fined for that same thing — and he won’t be the last.
During that win over the Dallas Cowboys, Brown rushed 14 times for 58 yards and was second on the team in receiving with six catches for 65 yards and a score.
