Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Darnell Washington has been fined by the NFL following a touchdown celebration during a game played in Paris, according to a report from Gridiron Heroics. The league announced the penalty on November 1, 2026, though the specific amount of the fine and details of the celebration were not immediately disclosed.
Washington, a second-year player, scored during the Steelers' international contest in the French capital. The NFL regularly reviews on-field celebrations for violations of its sportsmanship and taunting rules, with fines typically ranging from several thousand to tens of thousands of dollars depending on the nature of the infraction.
The Steelers organization has not yet commented publicly on the league's decision. Washington has emerged as a key contributor in Pittsburgh's offense, utilizing his size and athleticism as both a blocker and receiver.
