Denver Broncos guard Quinn Meinerz revealed that he received a $14,926 fine from the NFL for his dice roll celebration during the team's 30-26 win over the Los Angeles Rams in Week 3.

"I got fined," Meinerz told Mike Klis of 9News (h/t Charean Williams of Pro Football Talk). "We were playing Yahtzee. They didn't like we were playing Yahtzee."

After Broncos wide receiver Jaylen Waddle caught a pass in the end zone for a successful two-point conversion in the third quarter of the contest, Meinerz congratulated his teammate before he pantomimed a dice roll.

Denver trailed 16-8 at the time, but went on three consecutive touchdown drives to close out the game and emerge victorious.

It appears as though the celebration from Meinerz was considered unsportsmanlike conduct by the NFL. According to the league's fines and appeals schedule, unsportsmanlike conduct violations result in a $14,926 fine following a first offense and $20,897 for a second offense.

It's worth noting that the NFL previously announced that it had no issue with dice roll celebrations in 2017, via Pro Football Talk.

As for Meinerz, he's remained one of the top players at his position after earning First Team All-Pro honors in each of the past two seasons.

The 27-year-old has allowed just four pressures without giving up a sack in 110 pass-blocking snaps to start his 2026 campaign, according to Pro Football Focus.

The Broncos currently sit at 2-1 as they attempt to advance to the playoffs for the third consecutive season.
