Chiefs' Patrick Mahomes Fined $14.1K by NFL for TD Celebration vs. Bills

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes took a hit to his wallet as a result of his on-field actions last week.

Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reported that the 29-year-old had been fined $14,069 for "unsportsmanlike conduct" due to a "violent gesture" he made during the game.

Mahomes raised his hands and made the "violent" gesture after a big throw, which was caught on the television.

While it won't break the bank for Mahomes, who is set to take home $37 million this season, it just adds extra salt to the wound of the Chiefs dropping their first game of the season.

Mahomes went 23-of-33 for 196 yards with three touchdowns and two interceptions in the Chiefs' 30-21 loss. It hardly derails the season, as Kansas City is 9-1 and still in line to get the No. 1 seed in the AFC, but the team does look more mortal as they approach the home stretch.

Getting a bounce-back win against the Carolina Panthers would be huge in Week 12 and the fine may just add more fuel to Mahomes' fire.
