As the Dallas Cowboys prepare to face the Baltimore Ravens<\/a> in Brazil on Sunday, another offensive player is getting hit with a fine from the NFL due to celebration violations.<\/p>\n

Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson has been fined $13,611 by the league due to \u201cimitation of shotgunning a beer\u201d in Week 2’s win over the Washington Commanders that \u201cconstituted an offensive demonstration and could reasonably could be construed as being in poor taste.<\/a>“<\/p>\n

Ferguson is not the only NFL star to be fined for “offensive demonstrations,” with San Francisco 49ers All-Pro Kyle Juszczyk, who is nicknamed “Juice,” receiving the same fine, which he and his wife, Kristin, mocked on social media<\/a>. <\/p>\n

For a league that has multiple official alcohol partnerships — including Bud Light, Jameson Irish Whiskey and Barefoot wine — surely a harmless celebration such as this isn’t work a hefty fine, but it’s asking a lot of the NFL to think with any sort of logic. <\/p>\n

Fortunately, Ferguson will appeal the fine, per reports from<\/a> ESPN’s Todd Archer. It would be a shame if the league decides to uphold the fine, but we wouldn’t expect anything less. <\/p>\n

Ferguson is the latest Dallas player to be hit with a fine by the NFL during the early parts of this season. <\/p>\n

In Week 1’s loss to the New York Giants, Cowboys running back Javonte Williams held out the ball in front of a defender as he jogged into the end zone. He was flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct, and kicker Brandon Aubrey missed the ensuing extra point to keep it at a 28-20 deficit for the Cowboys. <\/p>\n

Aubrey’s miss didn’t end mattering, but Williams felt the blow of his excessive celebration. He was fined $11,941 for taunting and apologized publicly afterwards.<\/p>\n

Ferguson shouldn’t do the same, as his appeal would show. Apologizing for performing a harmless celebration with your teammates simply isn’t necessary. Maybe next time, Ferguson should simply put the ball flat on the ground and walk back over to the sideline like a robot. No fun at all.<\/p>\n

His beer shotgun celebration came on a day when Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott set the new franchise record for career touchdown passes, moving past Tony Romo. <\/p>\n

Ferguson helped get him there with four catches for 43 yards and two touchdowns. This came after he had just two catches for six yards in the season-opening loss to the Giants.<\/p>\n

Ferguson and the Cowboys will kick off against the Ravens on Sunday at 3:25 p.m. CT.<\/p>\n
