NFL Punishes A.J. Brown for Unique TD Celebration Against Titans in Week 13

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown erupted for an explosive performance against his former team, the Tennessee Titans, in Week 13. The Pro Bowler went off for 119 yards and 2 touchdowns in the revenge game, which resulted in a pair of end zone celebrations.

Unfortunately, the NFL wasn't a fan of at least one of those celebrations.

#Eagles WR A.J. Brown was fined $13,261 for unsportsmanlike conduct for spanking the goal post with his towel after a TD catch in last week’s rout of the #Titans. The catch was reversed after review, but Brown scored again on the next snap.

NFL insider Ian Rapoport reported Saturday that the league handed Brown a decent fine for one of the dances. They called the celebration "unsportsmanlike conduct" in which the wideout "spanked the goal post with his towel."

Making matters worse, a review of the play actually took Brown's TD off the board. He scored on the very next play, however.

Below is the original celebration. Decide for yourselves -- is this worth a $13,000 fine?
