Denver Broncos offensive lineman Quinn Meinerz has been fined $14,926 by the NFL for pantomiming a Yahtzee dice roll after Bo Nix connected with Waddle on a two-point conversion. The league reportedly objected to the gambling connotation of the celebration. Meinerz plans to appeal the fine, and fans are debating whether the punishment is excessive for a lighthearted gesture.
