Tyreek Hill had a lot of fun celebrating his touchdown against the Pittsburgh Steelers, but the NFL id dnot find it amusing.

The Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver was fined by the NFL for his pompom touchdown celebration during last week’s AFC Wild Card Round win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. According to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, the league fined Hill $12,875 for unsportsmanlike conduct, although no flag was thrown on the play.

If you’ve been watching the NFL for an extended amount of time, then you might remember the celebration was reminiscent of Hall of Fame wide receiver Terrell Owens, who shook pompoms after scoring a touchdown while he was a member of the San Francisco 49ers.
