The Kansas City Chiefs star was fined $10,300 by the NFL for taunting the Buffalo Bills' Matt Milano. The peace sign was given to Milano by Hill as he was approaching the goal line to give the Chiefs the lead late in the fourth quarter.

The six-time Pro Bowler avoided a taunting penalty, a point which Bills head coach Sean McDermott declined to wade into.
He told reporters that he was not going to go any further when asked about the play by Kim Jones.
Charles Robinson reported that Hill had a disproportionate influence on the new taunting rules. His pre-touchdown celebrations allegedly changed more than one member of the rule-emphasizing establishment.
If the Bills had protected a three-point lead with 13 seconds on the clock, it would have been immaterial.
This is the second time the NFL has fined Hill. He was docked $12,875 for grabbing a pair of pompoms from a cheerleader to celebrate a touchdown reception.
He used the fine as motivation to raise money for his foundation.

Hill has forfeited a lot of money over the last two weeks, so he might want to be on his best behavior.
