New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. has reportedly been fined approximately $9,000 for throwing a punch at Buffalo Bills safety Duke Williams, according to Mike Rodak of ESPN.
Though Beckham was not penalized on the play, his actions were caught on television camera.

Bills linebacker Preston Brown told The Buffalo News that Beckham threw the punch but suggested he would likely get away with it because he’s “the golden boy” of the league. Cornerback Stephon Gilmore also called Beckham a “prima donna.”
This wasn’t the first time Beckham has lost his cool on the field, either. During the preseason, he intentionally chipped Jacksonville Jaguars safety Sergio Brown after an incompletion.
The NFL will not disclose the specific fine details until Friday.
