Seahawks wide receiver Doug Baldwin and Bengals linebacker Vontaze Burfict were each fined for making obscene gestures in their respective games last week, PFT has confirmed.

Those were some expensive fingers. Both were fined $12,154.

Burfict went with a double-barreled salute towards the crowd during the Bengals-Bills game. Baldwin’s was directed at his own sideline, but the ensuing play ended in a touchdown and all involved laughed about it later.

Burfict is familiar with the league’s fine and disciplinary system. He was suspended the first three games of the season for repeated on-field rules violations.
