What happened: The NFL fined Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson $14,926 and running back Quinshon Judkins $14,397 for unsportsmanlike conduct. The discipline is the result of illegal celebrations and vulgar acts.

Why it matters: While the incident was not obvious on the television broadcast, the penalties reportedly relate to a smoking gesture made following a touchdown by Judkins last week. The league consistently disciplines players for gestures deemed inappropriate.

What to watch: The Browns face the New York Jets on Sunday.
