Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown won’t have his bank account hit by the NFL after all.
According to Brown himself, via Sports Illustrated’s Jay Morrison, Brown won his fine appeal with the NFL over his jumping in the Salvation Army kettle during the win over the Dallas Cowboys in Week 14.
The NFL had originally hit Brown under the “illegal celebrations and vulgar acts” section for his celebration. Considering the convenient placing of those kettles and the annual tradition that is players jumping in them, though, Brown always had a pretty good shot at winning the appeal.
Call it just another win for Brown, who has enjoyed a breakout season over 15 games, rushing for 923 yards and seven scores on a 4.4 per-carry average.
