The NFL levied 19 fines for transgressions during Week 11 of the 2024 season, and Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams got the biggest one.

Williams didn’t put a big hit on a defenseless player or make helmet-to-helmet contact to incur the punishment. But he did grab his crotch after scoring a touchdown – officially it was “unsportsmanlike conduct (obscene gestures)” — and that drew a $19,697 fine. There was no penalty assessed on the field.

Williams scored on a 64-yard reception during the Lions’ 52-6 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday. At the end of his sprint down the field, Williams leaped backward into the end zone holding his crotch in a tribute to former NFL running back Marshawn Lynch.

When Lynch used the celebration at the end of a 79-yard touchdown run in the Seattle Seahawks’ 35-6 victory over the Arizona Cardinals on Dec. 21, 2014, the NFL fined him $11,050 for “excessive celebration (inappropriate gesture).”

This is the second time this season that Williams has been fined for a touchdown celebration.

In Detroit’s 42-29 victory over the Seattle Seahawks on Sept. 30, Williams dunked the football over the crossbar after a 70-yard touchdown reception. Williams said he meant the celebration as a tribute to former Lions wide receiver Calvin Johnson. He was flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct and got fined $14,069 by the NFL.

The NFL announced its Week 11 fines on Saturday.

Two other former Alabama standouts also were fined by the NFL for Week 11 infractions:

• Denver Broncos cornerback Patrick Surtain II was fined $11,255 for a facemask penalty in a 38-6 victory over the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday.
• Pittsburgh Steelers safety Minkah Fitzpatrick was fined $11,255 for a late-hit penalty in an 18-16 victory over the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday.

The NFL uses a collectively bargained schedule of fines to determine the amount of monetary punishment. The NFL’s Schedule of Fines also comes with a list of aggravating and mitigating factors that can affect the size of a fine.
