Chiefs' Tyreek Hill Fined $13K for Celebrating with Pompoms in Win vs. Steelers

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill was fined by the NFL for his pompom touchdown celebration during last week's AFC Wild Card Round win over the Pittsburgh Steelers.

According to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero, the league fined Hill $12,875 for unsportsmanlike conduct, although no flag was thrown on the play.

The celebration occurred during the third quarter of Kansas City's 42-21 win after Hill scored a touchdown to extend the Chiefs' lead to 34-7.

Hill grabbed some pompoms from a Chiefs cheerleader and began dancing around, much to the delight of the home crowd at Arrowhead Stadium:

The celebration was reminiscent of Hall of Fame wide receiver Terrell Owens, who shook pompoms after scoring a touchdown while he was a member of the San Francisco 49ers in 2002.
