KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Tennessee Titans left tackle Taylor Lewan rarely censors his emotions, and his latest display may end up costing him.
Lewan flipped a middle finger to Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Derrick Johnson in the first quarter of the Titans' 22-21 win. Lewan engaged with Johnson during a rush by running back Derrick Henry and was clearly unhappy with Johnson, choosing to show his displeasure with the obscene gesture.
This action could lead to a fine. Unsportsmanlike conduct toward an opponent carries a $12,154 fine, and "excessive profanity" would fall in that category.
Oakland Raiders running back Marshawn Lynch was fined for a double middle finger salute in the team's season opener against the Titans.
