The NFL’s crackdown on players celebrating with “violent gestures” continued in Super Bowl LIX.
The league announced today that Eagles linebacker Jalyx Hunt was fined $5,690 for unsportsmanlike conduct for what the league termed a violent gesture.
Hunt’s gesture was mimicking an archer shooting a bow and arrow after a sack of Patrick Mahomes. Hunt didn’t direct the gesture at Mahomes or anyone else and didn’t seem to be intending anything violent about his celebration, but the league has made a point of fining players for anything that looks like shooting a gun, an arrow or anything else that might appear violent.
Violent gestures can also generate a 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty, but the officials did not flag Hunt.
Eagles defensive tackle Moro Ojomo joined Hunt’s celebration with a similar gesture but was not fined.
