Indianapolis Colts' right guard Matt Goncalves was fined by the NFL for a celebration in Sunday's game against Kansas City.
Following a touchdown reception by tight end Tyler Warren, he handed the ball to Goncalves, who appeared to pop the top on the football and chug it as if it were a beer.
According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the NFL called the celebration an "offensive demonstration" and had this to say:

“Your imitation of chugging a beer constituted an offensive demonstration…in poor taste.”
The league fined Gonçalves $8,847.
San Francisco 49ers' fullback Kyle Juszczyk was also fined for a similar celebration.
