NFL Disciplines 2 Bengals WRs for Actions in Week 2
The league sent a message on celebrations in Week 2. Two Cincinnati Bengals wide receivers were fined.
In Week 2, the Cincinnati Bengals secured a 20-6 victory over the Houston Texans at home. The NFL disciplined two of the team's wide receivers for their celebrations during the game. Ja'Marr Chase was fined $37,778 for two celebrations, while Tee Higgins received a $51,778 fine for four celebrations, according to reports from The Athletic and Ari Meirov on X. Chase's celebration was dubbed "The People's Elbow," a twist on a famous wrestling move by The Rock.
Chase urged fellow players to join the NFLPA in challenging these fines. The NFL's crackdown on celebrations intensified in Week 2, with the San Francisco 49ers' Kyle Juszczyk fined $14,926 for his celebration.
