Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson is dodging a financial hit.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported Wednesday that the NFL rescinded a $13,611 fine given to Ferguson after he appeared to imitate “shotgunning a beer” after scoring a touchdown in a 37-20 Week 2 win over the Washington Commanders.
Why Jake Ferguson won his appeal
“Ferguson told the league it was his Gatorade celebration that he previously had done on multiple occasions in practice, as the team had documented on social media,” wrote Schefter.
Ferguson joins San Francisco 49ers fullback Kyle Juszczyk as the second player to win his appeal for pretending to chug a beer as a celebration. The league rescinded a $14,926 fine for the FB after it determined he was pretending to guzzle a juice box.
