NBC Sports reports:
The NFL’s crackdown on violent gestures has hit the league’s biggest star. Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes was fined $14,069 for what the league called a violent gesture in last Sunday’s game against the Bills.
The gesture, in which Mahomes appeared to mimic shooting a rifle, came after he threw a fourth-quarter touchdown pass. The NFL has fined several players for similar gestures, including finger guns and pretending to shoot a bow and arrow.
Mahomes was previously fined $50,000 in December 2023 for “verbally abusing” an official during a game against the Bills involving a play that led to the Chiefs losing.
