Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott will not be fined over $12,000 for his Salvation Army kettle celebration Sunday night against the Buccaneers, the NFL announced Monday. After cruising his way into the end zone, Elliott set his sights on a red Salvation Army bucket, leaping into it before being greeted by his jubilant teammates.
The referees did not look kindly on the stunt, though, penalizing Elliott for excessive celebration and costing the Cowboys 15 yards on the ensuing kickoff.
