Detroit Lions star Jameson Williams has been fined $25,325 for his obscene celebration during his team’s loss to Washington Commanders last weekend.
After scoring an incredible 61-yard touchdown, Williams appeared to thrust his hips to the ground before teammate Amon-Ra St Brown hauled him back up to his feet in the celebrations.
Cameras quickly cut away from Williams on the broadcast but the two seconds that went out live on the air was all that was needed to make it a talking point.
The NFL’s X account tweeted out video of his touchdown but abruptly cut the footage before the 23-year-old’s crude celebration.
The Lions went on to lose 41-35 to the Commanders, with head coach Dan Campbell fighting back tears in his post-game press conference.

‘It just hurts to lose, man,’ he said. ‘I don’t care if you’re the seven seed, six seed, five seed, one seed… cause I’ve lost all of them, damn near.’
‘It hurts,’ he continued. ‘At the end of the day, I didn’t have them ready.’
As he became more and more emotional, Campbell later added: ‘What [the players] put into it, a lot of people don’t know what they go through. You have to get up, your body’s beat to s***, mentally stay locked in and do those things. Long season.
‘It’s my fault. It’s my fault.’
