Brown flung himself at the goalpost with his groin first, then proceeded to straddle-hug the post instead of performing the traditional TD celebration. Over the years, the NFL has allowed a lot of mischief to occur, but this was too much. After it was determined that he had broken the league’s unsportsmanlike conduct policy, Brown was fined $11,576.
