At 6'7" and 230 pounds, Chiefs tight end Demetrius Harris is usually larger than the player throwing him the ball but that wasn’t the case last Sunday night.

That’s when Harris caught a two-yard touchdown pass from defensive tackle Dontari Poe, who checked into the game to take a snap in a Wildcat formation and then threw a “Bloated Tebow Pass” to Harris. Harris went the extra mile in celebrating the touchdown by pretending to use the football as a fake putter and then miming a putt that he followed into the imaginary cup before doing a Tiger Woods-style fist bump.

Harris earned a 15-yard penalty for that celebration and PFT confirmed with the league on Friday that he has been fined $12,154 for the infraction.

Chiefs defensive tackle Chris Jones also drew a fine this week. He has been hit for $18,231 after drawing an unnecessary roughness penalty. Broncos tackle Donald Stephenson was penalized for unsportsmanlike conduct during the game, but did not get fined.
