It’s been a busy week for Panthers rookie Jeremy Chinn. He made NFL history by scoring defensive touchdowns against the Vikings on back to back plays on Sunday. Later, he was named the league’s Defensive Rookie of the Month for the second time.
Chinn’s celebration against Minnesota will cost him, though. According to a report by Tom Pelissero at NFL Network, the league has fined Chinn $5,606 for dunking on the goal post.

Stupid rule.
In any case, Chinn has some strong competition but right now it’s hard to consider anyone else the favorite to win Defensive Rookie of the Year.
