​Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown has been fined $11,576 (£7,500) by the NFL for jumping on the goal post while celebrating a touchdown.

Brown returned a punt 71 yards for a score in the final minutes of Pittsburgh's 45-10 rout of Indianapolis last Sunday night, jumped on the goal post and slid down. He was penalized for unsportsmanlike conduct.

Steelers kicker Chris Boswell was fined $8,681 (£5,700) Friday for unnecessary roughness after tackling the Colts' Quan Bray on a return in the fourth quarter of the game.

New York Giants guard Justin Pugh was docked $17,363 (£11,400) for a leg whip in the fourth quarter against the Jets. Pugh was called for unnecessary roughness on the play.
