Jets’ Crowell Fined $13K By NFL For ‘Wipe’ Celebration

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) — Well, that’s one way to flush some money away.

New York Jets running back Isaiah Crowell was fined $13,369 by the NFL on Tuesday for his crude touchdown celebration in Cleveland.

After scoring against his former team on Sept. 20, Crowell took the football and wiped it against his rear end before firing it into the stands. It made for a viral moment from New York’s 21-17 loss to previously winless Cleveland, and earned Crowell a scolding from coach Todd Bowles.

“It was inexcusable,” Bowles said after the game.
