Baltimore Ravens cornerback Marcus Peters’ game check is going to be just a little lighter. According to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, the NFL fined Peters $15,000 for celebrating on the Tennessee Titans’ midfield logo after his game-clinching interception last week.
Though much of the defense came out to celebrate the play on the Titans’ logo, Peters was the only player fined. While Pelissero notes Peters plans on appealing the fine, I have to imagine it’s one he and the rest of Baltimore’s roster won’t mind paying if needed.
The fine-worthy celebration came as a little revenge after the Titans had pulled a similar stunt prior to Week 11’s kickoff against the Ravens. Before that game, coach John Harbaugh had gotten into it with several of Tennessee’s players over the matter. So when the playoffs came around and Baltimore got a chance to literally stomp Tennessee’s chances away, they seemed pretty happy to do it.
