Baltimore Ravens Fans Furious About Star’s Absurd Punishment From NFL Hours Before AFC Championship

As discussed by Taylor Hartman of GH, the NFL fined Ravens’ offensive lineman Morgan Moses nearly $14,000 for an unsportsmanlike penalty:

Baltimore offensive lineman Morgan Moses was fined $13,659 for unsportsmanlike conduct on a play where quarterback Lamar Jackson ran in for an eight-yard touchdown in last week’s divisional playoff game against the Houston Texans. The league has cracked down on fining players in 2023, with some fines being much more controversial than others, and this one is a key example of just that.

According to NFL analyst Tom Pelissero, Moses was fined after the play had ended while celebrating the touchdown with his teammates. The offensive lineman was seen holding one of the cameras from the camera crew and pointing it at Jackson, mimicking taking a picture of the star quarterback. While most saw it as just an innocent celebration, the league handed Moses a hefty fine for his actions, as they have been doing throughout the season.

Using a prop to celebrate is a step to far

A post from Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network shows the play the NFL fined Moses for.  Moses taking a photographer’s camera during the touchdown celebration was the cause of the fine.

Baltimore Ravens fans are upset by the penalty

The penalty from the NFL seems in poor taste. Moses was just celebrating a touchdown with his teammates. No Houston Texans players were around for Moses to agitate during the celebration.

Ravens fans were upset with the penalty. Here are the best takes on Ravens fans reacting to Moses’ fine.
