The Cleveland Browns find themselves under fire once again. This time, it's for something much less serious than the Myles Garrett and Mason Rudolph incident though.
Star wide receiver Jarvis Landry has been fined by the NFL. He was fined $10,527 for an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty he received in Week 10. That penalty was for taunting against the Buffalo Bills.

The flag came extremely early in the game. With still 12:09 left in the first quarter, Landry caught a 17-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Baker Mayfield.
It was just his second touchdown of the year at the time.
Landry was flagged for taunting after the play but that did not slow down Cleveland's momentum. The Browns still won that game 19-16, and Landry had nine receptions for 97 yards and that one touchdown.
Landry's now enjoying his best stretch of the year. He's caught a touchdown pass in three straight games — had four receptions for 43 yards and a touchdown against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 11.
The Browns have also won two straight games now. That's something they haven't done all year.
Now at 4-6, the season isn't over — but Cleveland still has some work to do. But it feels like things are starting to pile up.
For Landry this isn't much of an issue. It's just a simple fine. However, during the game it was also a penalty.
For the Browns you can't help but notice that they are starting to win. Can they get out of their own way? Dumb penalties like this certainly don't help.
