Achane was fined $8,238; Wright was fined $6,388.<\/p>\n<p>The game broadcast showed a group of Dolphins players initially sitting around a campfire, with the ball serving as the flame. After they got up, Achane and Wright engaged in a two-man celebration that included both of them performing the nose wipe before holding out both hands like guns and holstering them.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s possible the fine covers both actions. It\u2019s also possible that, because the thumbs remained steady, the back end of the celebration wasn\u2019t regarded as the simulation of a handgun. (And, yes, the line for finger guns apparently does hinge on thumb movement, or lack thereof.)<\/p>\n<p>Regardless, the forbidden \u201cnose wipe\u201d is unmistakable. Given that the league issued five fines for that move in Week 13, Achane and Wright likely were sanctioned at least in part for something that was neither a pick nor a scratch.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The rash of Week 13 \u201cnose wipe\u201d fines did not completely wipe out the celebration for Week 14.&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":347519,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[349,99],"class_list":{"0":"post-347518","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nfl","8":"tag-nfl","9":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/347518","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=347518"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/347518\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/347519"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=347518"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=347518"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=347518"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
