NFL fines Bengals and Broncos players for actions in Week 17 game.

CINCINNATI – Cornerback Josh Newton is the latest Cincinnati Bengals player to be fined for a violent gesture.

The NFL fined Newton $4,885 for “unsportsmanlike conduct (violent gesture)” in the first quarter of last Saturday’s 30-24 overtime win over the Denver Broncos.

The gesture came after Denver quarterback Bo Nix threw an incomplete pass to wide receiver Courtland Sutton in the end zone while Newton was covering him.

The gesture in question cannot be seen in the game broadcast or in the All 22 film, as Newton celebrated the third down stop with his teammate Geno Stone before the video switches to the next play.

Cornerback Cam Taylor-Britt was fined $9,019 for a violent gesture in the Bengals’ Week 15 win at Tennessee.

Wide receiver Andrei Iosivas was fined for a violent gesture earlier this season, but won his appeal and the league overturned the fine entirely.

Wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase was also fined for a violent gesture in Week 5, and that discipline remained in place even after an appeal hearing.

Also in Saturday’s game, Denver safety PJ Locke was fined $13,972 for “unnecessary rudeness (use of a helmet).”

The play occurred in the third quarter when Locke took the lead with his helmet and hit Bengals tight end Mike Gesicki with his helmet on the sideline for an 8-yard gain.
