49ers' Juszczyk fined $14,926 for beer-chugging celebration

The NFL fined San Francisco 49ers fullback Kyle Juszczyk $14,926 for a touchdown celebration during the team’s 35-13 win over the Miami Dolphins, ruling that his imitation of chugging a beer was an offensive demonstration that could be considered in poor taste. Juszczyk, whose nickname is “Juice,” has appealed the fine and says the gesture reflects his nickname; he also told ESPN that he does not drink beer. Reports say he has used a similar chugging motion throughout his career, making the penalty a surprise to fans and commentators. The fine follows a separate $20,033 penalty for a helmet-related block in the 49ers’ Week 1 win over the Rams.
