Apparent lewd gesture results in $10K fine for Browns' Baker Mayfield

Baker Mayfield's staredown of Hue Jackson last Sunday drew plenty of attention, but it was a gesture the rookie quarterback made during the game that has him a little lighter in the pocket.

The NFL handed Mayfield a fine of $10,026 for unsportsmanlike conduct, the result of an apparent lewd gesture he made toward Cleveland Browns offensive coordinator Freddie Kitchens in last Sunday's 26-18 win against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Mayfield threw a 1-yard touchdown pass to tight end Darren Fells in the second quarter, then went to the sideline and gestured toward his groin area.
