A 15-yard taunting penalty picked up by Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Marvin Jones Jr. in Week 2 also cost him a decent chunk of change.
According to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network, Jones received a $10,609 fine from the league this week. A second taunting penalty this season would result in a $15,914 fine for Jones, per the collective bargaining agreement.
Jones, 32, picked up the penalty after taking hits from a pair of Indianapolis Colts defenders that knocked his helmet off and drew an unnecessary roughness penalty. Jones stood up, flexed, and was later shown on the broadcast yelling at the Colts players.

Taunting called on Jones resulted in offsetting penalties, but didn’t slow the Jaguars drive which ended with a touchdown eight plays later.
Jones, who signed a two-year, $12.5 million deal with the Jaguars last year, finished the game with three receptions for 33 yards. He has seven receptions for 71 through the first two games of the season.
It’s unknown if Colts linebacker Zaire Franklin was fined for the unnecessary roughness penalty.
