Bengals’ Ja’Marr Chase wins appeal after being fined $14,926 for controversial ‘people’s elbow’ celebration

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase was fined earlier in the season for a controversial celebration he called “the people’s elbow” during the club’s 20-6 Week 2 win over the Houston Texans. The league initially fined him a total of $14,926, but new reports say that Chase no longer has to pay the fine. The 26-year-old won his appeal for both fines that totaled $14,926, according to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network. Chase argued that he was not given a warning, nor was the celebration with teammate Tee Higgins meant to be offensive.
