Add Josh Allen to the list of players fined by the NFL this season.

The Bills quarterback, 29, was hit with a fine due to what the league called a “violent gesture” during Buffalo’s 28-21 win over the Chiefs last week.

Following a third-quarter touchdown by the QB, Allen appeared to make a throat slash gesture as part of his celebration with teammate Elijah Moore.

Allen was hit with a $14,491 fine, while Moore was fined $13,888 for a similar action on the same play. 

Additionally, cornerback Christian Benford was fined $14,714 for an unnecessary roughness violation on a play, in which he was ruled to have used his helmet illegally when he hit Kansas City receiver Xavier Worthy.

And running back Ty Johnson got a $10,778 fine for a facemask violation.

As for the Allen fine, although the quarterback didn’t taunt an opponent with his gesture, the NFL — as well as other professional leagues — has made it clear they don’t want players participating in those types of celebrations. 

Allen has been fined before in his career, also for celebratory actions.

He got a $7,000 fine when he threw a ball into the stands following a touchdown versus the Miami Dolphins in 2019.

Allen was previously hit with a $15,000 fine for unsportsmanlike conduct when he tossed a ball at Kansas City’s Alex Okafor in the AFC Championship Game in 2021, which led to a brawl.

He was also fined $10,927 for pointing at Nick Scott of the Cincinnati Bengals as Allen scored a touchdown during a game in 2023.
