Jerry Jeudy will receive punishment from the NFL following a recent temper tantrum. The wideout faces a variety of fines for multiple violations after losing his cool against the Chiefs.

After feeling as if he’d been interfered with on a route, Jeudy exploded on the officiating crew. He then went after the first referee he saw, bumping into the zebra while arguing his case.

Take a look at the outburst below.

Many believed that the altercation warranted a suspension, and at the very least a penalty flag. Those fans cite Jerry Jeudy’s removing his helmet as well as his body checking an official. Instead, he received neither, though he will see some punishment.

NFL reporter Tom Pelissero said Tuesday that while Jeudy won’t be suspended for the incident, the league will go after the wide receiver’s wallet.

The NFL won’t suspend Broncos WR Jerry Jeudy for his outburst in Sunday’s loss to the Chiefs, but he’s facing fines for multiple violations, including removing his helmet on the field and making contact with an official, per sources.

As expected, there were some folks on social media that were less than satisfied with the outcome.

One person wrote, “Imagine bumping a referee, and not getting in trouble,” although another joked that the punishment of playing for Denver was more than sufficient by saying, “It’s more of a punishment to not suspend him and play with the Broncos.”

This fan commented on the NFL’s lack of consistency with the rulebook, citing an incident involving Panthers wideout DJ Moore that wound up costing his team a win. They said, “But they flagged DJ Moore for removing his helmet which cost him the game. What a joke.”

The NFL will need to clean these inconsistencies up if they want to keep fans and players happy on Sundays.
