NFL hits Jameson Williams with huge fine for 'obscene gestures' during celebration vs. Commanders

The NFL has fined Detroit Lions receiver Jameson Williams an amount of $25,325 for “obscene gestures” he made in a Divisional Round playoff game against the Washington Commanders, according to Tom Pelissero.

The gestures in question occurred after Williams scored a touchdown late in the second quarter. The receiver had a peculiar celebration as he got down on the ground and began thrusting his hips in a suggestive manner. You can view it below.

This isn’t the first fine that Williams has received this season. He also had to pay $19,697 earlier this year after he grabbed his crotch area in a late November game.

Outside of that touchdown, which happened on a reverse sweep and counted as a rushing score, Williams had a pretty quiet night. He finished with just one catch for 19 yards as the Lions would go on to lose 45-31.

Williams is coming off of the best season of his short career as he finished with 58 catches for 1,001 yards and seven touchdowns. He’ll look to build on that next year as he enters the final season of his rookie contract.
