Beckham fined for dog-like TD celebratio­n

- FROM WIRE REPORTS

New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. has been fined $12,154 by the NFL for his dog-like touchdown celebratio­n last Sunday.

Beckham got down on all fours and pretended to urinate like a dog after catching a fourth-quarter touchdown pass in a loss to the Philadelph­ia Eagles. He was penalized for unsportsma­nlike conduct for the celebratio­n, and met a few days later with co-owner John Mara, who was unhappy with Beckham's behavior.

Also in that game, Eagles running back LeGarrette Blount was fined $9,115 for taunting. Jets rookie safety Jamal Adams and Minnesota cornerback Xavier Rhodes were docked the same amount for taunting.

Jets linebacker Darron Lee drew an $18,231 fine for a late hit on Miami quarterbac­k Jay Cutler.

Seattle cornerback Richard Sherman was fined $12,154 for unnecessar­y roughness, while Denver's Will Parks was docked $9,115, also for unnecessar­y roughness.
