Chase's new celebration

Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins created a unique touchdown celebration after their win over Houston.

“I can't say what something we made up, and then everybody else saying what it is.”

NFL's interpretation

The league fined Chase and Higgins for what it called an offensive demonstration after their celebration.

Celebration origin

Chase described the gesture as a 'People's Elbow' inspired by Dwayne Johnson's WWE finishing move.

Other players fined

Indianapolis Colts guard Matt Goncalves and San Francisco 49ers fullback Kyle Juszczyk also received fines for similar celebrations.

Juszczyk's defense

Juszczyk said his celebration honors his nickname 'Juice' and he does not drink beer.

Chase's appeal

Chase wants to appeal the fine and says the NFL should let players use their celebrations without punishment.

“They're just stopping our fun. It is what it is.”
