The Eagles have had a stellar season and have remained unstoppable. The franchise’s latest game against the Titans was also a no-brainer, and they picked up a great win. But AJ Brown had something more in mind. He pulled up a touchdown celebration, which became an instant hit, but the NFL made him pay. However, NFL fans are split on the WR’s celebration.

Jalen Hurts connected with AJ Brown for a touchdown during the Eagles’ 35-10 victory. The WR’s touchdown celebration was wild, with him whipping over the goalpost after scoring. Previously, the star wide receiver taunted the Steelers players by pointing at them. The NFL was not calm at the time and is not quiet now.
As per Ian Rapoport, the NFL fined AJ Brown $13,261 for unsportsmanlike conduct for his touchdown celebration. The Eagles WR inappropriately spanked the goalpost with his towel after picking up the lead. But the league may not have found it funny and made a little hole in his wallet.
This was Jalen Hurts best throw of his career. It was also AJ Brown’s best Touchdown celebration.

WR Brown’s celebration led to the NFL fans standing split over the situation.
A user figured out it was $1894.43 per spank, which was worth every penny.
By my calculation that’s $1894.43 per spank… worth every penny.

However, this user believes that on a technical aspect, the play and the celebration never took place.
If the catch was reversed, technically the play & celebration never happened

But this user is wondering how is it unsportsmanlike conduct.
How can it be unsportsmanlike against a goal post? I could understand if it was an opposing player but a goal post?
