Bengals running back Joe Mixon was fined for his end-zone celebration from Sunday’s game, but he tweeted a proposal for paying the fee.
“@NFL since y’all all about the coin flipping let’s do this,” Mixon. “Let’s have a coin toss to pay this crazy fine for expressing myself. If it’s heads I’ll pay. If it’s tails Roger G pay the money to the Boys and Girls Clubs of Cincinnati.”
According to a screenshot attached to Mixon’s tweet, the league fined him $13,261 for his celebration. The running back capped a first-quarter touchdown by pulling a coin out, flipping it and then making a kicking motion with his teammates afterward. It was an action that mocked the NFL’s decision to have a coin toss determine home-field advantage for a wild-card matchup if the Ravens defeated the Bengals in Week 18.
Mixon’s celebration violated a rule that prohibits the use of props that aren’t “part of the uniform on the field or the sideline during the game, other than the football after a scoring play or change of possession,” according to his fine letter.Joe Mixon rushed for 814 yards and seven touchdowns as the Bengals clinched the AFC’s No. 3 seed.The coin-flip solution emerged after the Bengals’ game against the Bills on Jan.
