Overview
- The NFL’s GameDay Accountability Team issued the $14,055 fine on Nov. 29 for unsportsmanlike conduct stemming from a fourth‑quarter play in the Week 12 win over the Jets.
- Officials categorized the post‑sack motion as a “violent gesture,” widely interpreted as a throat‑slash, based on video circulated by reporters.
- Jones responded on X that he intended the signal to mean the game was over and joked the fine would dent his kids’ Christmas, with no reversal or appeal reported.
- Baltimore acquired Jones from Tennessee on Nov. 3 for a conditional 2026 fifth‑round pick that upgrades to a fourth if he records two sacks with the Ravens and they reach the playoffs.
- After posting 1.5 sacks versus New York, Jones sits a half‑sack shy of the trigger as Baltimore is 6‑6 following a Thanksgiving loss to the Bengals with key divisional games ahead.
