Lions Wide Receiver Jameson Williams Punished For 'Obscene Gesture'
The NFL has fined Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams for an "obscene gesture" during last Sunday's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
He celebrated a touchdown by honoring former NFL running back Marshawn Lynch. He grabbed his private area by falling backward into the end zone. The NFL then fined Williams $19,697 for unsportsmanlike conduct.
That touchdown extended the Lions' lead to 34-6 before they went on to win 52-6.
Here's the play:

Even though Williams got fined, he'll likely take it in stride since he was happy that he scored and is on a team that is a Super Bowl contender.
When Williams is in the lineup, he's one of the Lions' best players. He finished last Sunday's game with four receptions for 124 yards and a touchdown.
In eight games, Williams has compiled 24 receptions for 538 yards and four touchdowns. It's the best statistical season of his career to date.
The Lions are 9-1 through 10 games, good for the top spot in their division (NFC North) and the NFC as a whole. If they keep this up, they'll be the top seed in the NFC once the playoffs roll around.
Next up for the Lions will be a road game against the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday. The Colts are coming off a 28-27 win over the New York Jets from last Sunday and are trying to stay in the AFC playoff race.
Kickoff will be at 1 p.m. ET.
