Marcus Peters paid tribute to Marshawn Lynch during his backward dive into the end zone on a pick-six in Monday night’s victory over the Oakland Raiders. Now the Los Angeles Rams’ corner must pay out of his pocket.

NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported Peters was fined over $13,000 for grabbing his crotch during the touchdown celebration, per a source informed of the punishment.

Jordan Schultz of Yahoo Sports first reported the fine.

Peters intercepted Derek Carr late in the fourth quarter Monday night and scampered 50 yards for the game-sealing score. Upon reaching the end zone, the corner leaped backward and grabbed his crotch, a move Lynch had been fined for in the past.

Aaron Donald fined more than $20,000 for roughing the passer

The Rams paid defensive tackle Aaron Donald many millions to show up for Week One. He’ll be giving up more than $20,000 of that amount as a result of one specific play in his return to action.

That’s a fair trade.

Per the NFL, Donald was fined $20,054 for roughing the passer during Monday night’s game at Oakland. Donald hit quarterback Derek Carr low while sacking him.

The penalty also wiped out Donald’s sack of Carr, leaving Donald with a stat line of only one tackle for the game. Still, his value often comes not from his production but from his presence. He disrupts the interior of the offensive line and he makes it easier for teammates to swarm to the ball due to the extra attention he receives.

Michael Brockers registered one sack during the game, but the Rams also intercepted Carr three times in the 33-13 win.

Not a fan of penalizing someone for a sack. I can see it if the ball is out of the QB's hands. Its hard enough to get to the quarterback. Now you got one part of the process taken away. I see why the offense is a priority with the Rams. They recognize the rules favor the offense these days. You can't dislodge the ball from a receiver with a hard hit anymore. Pass interference is easy to call on the defender but receivers can get a pretty good push off before they finally call that. Now a defender has to be careful not to land on the quarterback on a sack.
