Denver Broncos wide receiver Jaylen Waddle and offensive lineman Quinn Meinerz have been fined after a celebration they performed during the Broncos' Week 3 win over the Los Angeles Rams.
After Waddle's two-point conversion in the third quarter, which cut the Rams' lead to 16-8, Meinerz 'waddled' to the corner of the end zone before celebrating with Waddle with a celebration the NFL deemed as "shaking the dice," decrying the moment for simulating gambling, according to KUSA-TV's Mike Klis.
Waddle and Meinerz were both fined $14,926 for the action. Meinerz told Klis he is planning to appeal the fine ahead of the Week 4 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers.

This is the second time in as many weeks the "No Fun League" has put the kibosh on a fun celebration. San Francisco 49ers fullback Kyle Juszczyk was fined for imitating chugging a beer in Week 2.
In other related Meinerz news, he was cleared of a PED test he was forced to take after pancaking Rams superstar Aaron Donald last Sunday. The powerful guard is coming off an All-Pro season in 2025, and has already established himself as a force to be reckoned with going into the year.
