Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Darnell Washington has been hit with a significant fine from the NFL following his touchdown celebration during the team's game in Paris. The league disciplined Washington for what it deemed an excessive or prohibited celebration after he scored in the international contest.
Details regarding the specific amount of the fine and the exact nature of the celebration that drew the league's attention were not immediately disclosed. The Steelers played in Paris as part of the NFL's International Series, marking one of the league's regular-season games held outside the United States.
Washington, a second-year player out of Georgia, has emerged as a key blocking tight end for Pittsburgh. The fine underscores the NFL's continued enforcement of celebration rules, even in games played on international soil.
