**NFL Fines Mahomes for Violent Gesture Following Touchdown Pass**

In a recent game, Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes faced repercussions from the NFL for a controversial gesture. The league fined Mahomes $14,069 after he mimicked shooting a rifle following a fourth-quarter touchdown during Sunday’s contest against the Buffalo Bills.

Mahomes' action was deemed a violent gesture by the NFL, which has been actively penalizing similar conduct. The NFL's stern stance comes amid its broader effort to discourage violent imagery on the field.

Several other players have faced similar fines for actions such as using finger guns or pretending to shoot a bow and arrow. The league's consistent enforcement of these fines highlights its commitment to maintain a certain decorum and prevent any potentially harmful actions during games.

Mahomes' fine serves as a high-profile example of the NFL's crackdown on these types of gestures, sending a message to all players about the importance of adhering to league regulations.
