One-finger salutes from Bengals linebacker Vontaze Burfict and Seahawks receiver Doug Baldwin led the NFL to fine each player $12,154.
Burfict appeared to flip the double bird to a fan who is believed to have thrown beer toward Burfict during his team's 16-12 loss to the Buffalo Bills at Paul Brown Stadium. Burfict's gesture was caught by television cameras on Fox's broadcast of the game.

The ensuing play resulted in a touchdown pass by Baldwin and he was able to laugh about the gesture after the win over the Eagles.
