Video: Vikings' Justin Jefferson Fined For 'Violent Gesture' After TD vs. Lions

The NFL has fined Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson $13,659 for unsportsmanlike conduct for his actions after scoring a touchdown against the Detroit Lions in Week 16.

Per Tom Pelissero of NFL Network, the fine was in reaction to Jefferson "making a brief, gun-like signal at the camera," which violated Rule 12, Section 3, Article 1(d) which states players should not make a "violent gesture."
