49ers’ Kyle Juszczyk Hit With Double NFL Punishment for Actions vs Dolphins

San Francisco 49ers fullback Kyle Juszczyk faced two separate fines from the NFL during their Week 2 victory over the Miami Dolphins. The penalties, both amounting to $14,926 apiece, were levied for unsportsmanlike conduct, specifically unsportsmanlike celebrations. Juszczyk maintained that he was not drinking beer during his celebrations and that his nickname, "Juice," inspired his antics, which included drinking juice and using a hand juicer.

The NFL disagreed, citing Juszczyk's imitation of chugging a beer and a bow and arrow gesture after a catch as violations. Despite the fines, Juszczyk used humor to address the situation, both publicly and on social media, where he showed his wife preparing orange juice instead of beer for him.
