San Francisco 49ers fullback Kyle Juszczyk has been fined $14,926 for what the NFL called an “offensive demonstration” during the win over the Miami Dolphins in Week 2.
Juszczyk wasted no time appealing the fine, and he had an honest reaction after hearing the news.

This is the second fine for Juszczyk during the NFL season, and the first came in the form of a $20,033 fine due to an unnecessary roughness play in the Week 1 win over the Los Angeles Rams.
This one, however, has become a normal celebration for Kyle Juszczyk, and if he doesn’t win the appeal, he might have to stop doing it on a regular basis.
