Deshaun Watson’s wallet is a little lighter after the league found a trio of discipline-worthy transgressions by the Cleveland Browns quarterback during a 26-22 Week 2 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Watson was fined a total of $35,513 by the league for three separate incidents against the Steelers. One was for a gun-themed celebration, which he did with a teammate. Both were fined $13,659 for the act. Watson also drew fines stemming from a pair of facemask calls, which is a rare feat for a quarterback to achieve. Watson was fortunate to not receive any kind of punishment for pushing an official in the third quarter while arguing one of his facemask calls.
The league announced on Tuesday, October 19 that Watson would not be facing a fine or suspension stemming from the incident. Browns QB Deshaun Watson Slapped With Hefty Punishment from NFL (msn.com)
