Denver Broncos wide receiver Jerry Jeudy lost his cool at a referee during the Week 14 loss against the Kansas City Chiefs, and now he's paying the price. Fortunately for Jeudy, he wasn't suspended by the league, but instead he picked up multiple fines. ESPN's Adam Schefter first reported that Jeudy racked up a $23,020 fine for making contact with an official, and then NFL Network's Tom Pelissero added reporting on a $13,261 fine for removing his helmet. That's a total of $36,281 in fines.
Pelissero reported earlier in the week fines were coming:Â âThe NFL wonât suspend Broncos WR Jerry Jeudy for his outburst in Sundayâs loss to the Chiefs, but heâs facing fines for multiple violations, including removing his helmet on the field and making contact with an official, per sources.â
After not getting a call on a play against the Chiefs, Jeudy could be seen shouting and running across the field while ripping off his helmet. When he got up to the referee, he continued shouting and bumped into the official.
Wow, Jerry Jeudyhttps://t.co/Gs8xQF73Va

Jeudy shockingly wasn't ejected or even penalized for this. He had a monster performance in Week 14, arguably his best of the season, and maybe the best of his career. In the 34-28 loss, Jerry Jeudy caught eight receptions on nine targets. He racked up 73 yards and scored three receiving touchdowns from quarterbacks Russell Wilson and Brett Rypien, who took over after the former suffered a concussion.
In addition to the Broncos' 10th loss of the season, Jeudy will also be forced to dip into his bank account in order to cover the fine for his antics on Sunday.
