Vontaze Burfict, Doug Baldwin fined for obscene gestures

One-finger salutes from Bengals linebacker Vontaze Burfict and Seahawks receiver Doug Baldwin led the NFL to fine each player $12,154.

Burfict appeared to flip the double bird to a fan who is believed to have thrown beer toward Burfict during his team's 16-12 loss to the Buffalo Bills at Paul Brown Stadium. Burfict's gesture was caught by television cameras on Fox's broadcast of the game.

Baldwin directed his gesture at his own sideline after the team called a trick play in the red zone.
