The NFL is walking back its $13,611 fine levied against Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson, according to a report from ESPN insider Adam Schefter. The NFL originally issued the fine after Ferguson's touchdown celebration against the Washington Commanders in Week 2. The league viewed the celebration as an “imitation of shotgunning a beer” and said it “constituted an offensive demonstration and could reasonably could be construed as being in poor taste.” Ferguson appealed the decision, saying it was a "Gatorade celebration that he previously had done on multiple occasions in practice, as the team had documented on social media." The news of this rescinded punishment came soon after the NFL walked back a similar fine for San Francisco 49ers fullback Kyle Juszczyk.
The Cowboys are 2-2 to begin the 2026 NFL season following Sunday's Week 4 win over the Houston Texans. Dallas will take the field for a "Thursday Night Football" matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 5, hoping to capitalize on their positive momentum. Thursday's matchup will kick off at 8:15 p.m.
