49ers' Kyle Juszczyk reportedly fined for beer-chugging celebration; Lions' Amon-Ra St. Brown fined four times for smoking gesture

San Francisco 49ers fullback Kyle Juszczyk and Indianapolis Colts guard Matt Goncalves have reportedly each been fined by the NFL for beer-chugging celebrations following Week 2 touchdowns, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter .

Both players received letters from the NFL this week regarding their fines with the league's message stating, "Your imitation of chugging a beer constituted an offensive demonstration and could reasonably be construed as being in poor taste."

Juszczyk, whose nickname is "Juice," caught a 6-yard touchdown pass in the third quarter of the 49ers' 35-13 win over the Miami Dolphins on Sunday. After celebrating with teammates, Juszczyk turned back towards the crowd while in the end zone and imitating chugging a drink.

The NFL, which has a deal with Anheuser-Busch InBev worth a reported $250 million per year, handed Juszczyk a fine of $14,926.

Juszczyk, who is appealing, sent a text to Schefter saying that he doesn't drink beer — a note that teammate George Kittle backed up in a X post saying , "Can confirm he doesn't really drink beer but is a good guy."

Kittle also decided to have some fun on social media with Juszczyk.

This is the second time this season that Juszczyk has been fined by the NFL. During Week 1, he was docked $20,033 for using his helmet while making a block during San Francisco 's win over the Los Angeles Rams in Australia.

Goncalves' wallet took a little less of a hit, according to Schefter. The Colts guard was docked only $8,847 for his beer-chugging celebration following Tyler Warren 's first quarter touchdown Sunday night against the Kansas City Chiefs .

After Warren's reception, he proceeded to imitate opening a can and handing it to Goncalves to chug before spiking the ball.

It's not known yet if Goncalves will join Juszczyk in filing an appeal.

As part of the appeal process, Juszczyk will have a hearing with one of the NFL's appeals officers — Derrick Brooks, Jordy Nelson or James Thrash — who are jointly appointed and paid by the league and the NFLPA. Once the officer makes a decision, the ruling is final and binding.

Bengals ' Ja'Marr Chase fined for elbow gesture after TD

Also receiving fines from the NFL for gestures during celebrations were Cincinnati Bengals receiver Ja'Marr Chase and Detroit Lions receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown .

Chase told reporters he was fined for emulating Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's finishing move, "The People's Elbow" after a touchdown catch against the Houston Texans . And Chase's gesture was more for signaliing to the crowd that the move is coming, not the maneuver itself.

Perhaps the NFL misinterpreted the gesture and believed Chase was making a more obscene gesture. The bending of the elbow upwards does resemble one that means, to put it less rudely, "Up yours" but something typically more profane. The French would call it "Bras d'honneur." But Chase's chances of winning an appeal seem strong.

"I'm trying to figure out because that's not what it is," Chase told reporters, via OnSI . "This is literally like a wrestling move. You know what I'm saying? So I don't know. Maybe I should stop."

Amon-Ra St. Brown received four separate fines for apparent smoking gesture

St. Brown drew not one, but four separate fines for a celebration he performed during the Lions' matchup with the Buffalo Bills .

The gesture that compelled punishment from the NFL was apparently emulating smoking a joint, according to the Detroit News' Nolan Bianchi . St. Brown put his fingers to his mouth and mimicked inhaling four different times, once after a third-quarter touchdown catch and three other times after getting first downs.

St. Brown was fined for each of the gestures. At $14.000 per fine, he was docked a total of $56,000 for those celebratory gestures.

"It's not good, man. 14-something times four," the Lions receiver said to Bianchi. "You do the math."

St. Brown said he will appeal the fines. That one might not get much leniency from the league.
