For Baltimore Ravens cornerback Marcus Peters, a celebratory drink cost him five figures.
Peters was fined $14,037 for drinking a beer after his pass breakup at the end of the game sealed the Ravens’ 24-17 win over at the Buffalo Bills last Sunday.
After knocking down Josh Allen’s fourth-down pass at the Baltimore 1-yard line with 1:03 remaining, Peters jumped into a section filled with Ravens fans at Buffalo’s New Era Field and shotgunned a can of beer while laying back in their arms.
The NFL fined Peters for unsportsmanlike conduct.
Baltimore clinched a playoff berth with Peters’ heroics. It was the latest big play by Peters, whom was acquired from the Los Angeles Rams in October. He has returned two interceptions for touchdowns since joining the Ravens.
