Rams' Jared Verse Fined $11K for Peace Sign Taunt During Blocked FG TD

Rams linebacker Jared Verse, the 2024 NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year, has been fined $11,593 for 'unsportsmanlike conduct [taunting]' after flashing a peace sign at the Falcons' bench during his 76-yard blocked field goal return for a touchdown. Verse was not flagged on the play but admitted he was concerned about a penalty and his coach's reaction. The NFL has previously fined players for similar gestures.
