Amon-Ra St. Brown’s wallet will soon be a little lighter.
The NFL ordered the Detroit Lions wide receiver to pay a $12,172 fine for his role in an altercation in the Week 10 game, according to NFL Network. St. Brown appeared to hit the facemask of Washington Commanders defensive lineman Daron Payne last week.
Despite his insistence that St. Brown was the antagonist in the situation, Payne was ejected from the game.

The referees did not flag St. Brown on the play. It was unclear whether officials saw the recipient’s initial actions. However, Payne’s punch was seen, leading to his ejection.
Payne was not in uniform Sunday while serving a one-game suspension during Washington’s 16-13 overtime loss to the Miami Dolphins in the NFL opener in Madrid.

St. Brown made more headlines during last week’s game at Northwest Stadium when he performed a touchdown celebration dance. After catching a 9-yard pass from quarterback Jared Goff in the first quarter, St. Brown broke into a dance that served as a nod to President Donald Trump, who was attending the game.
Trump became the first sitting US president to attend a regular season NFL game since Jimmy Carter in 1978.

St. Brown later addressed her actions and offered an apology to anyone who had issues with her dance selection.
“If I offended anyone, I apologize. I didn’t mean to offend anyone. We’re just having fun,” the Lions receiver said on the “St. Brown Podcast,” co-hosted by his brother Equanimeous St. Brown. “If any president had been at that game, if he had danced, I would have done it. It had nothing to do with who the president was.”
St. Brown has 693 receiving yards and eight touchdowns this season. The Philadelphia Eagles host the Lions on Sunday night.
