The NFL has fined Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning $8,258 for taunting during last Saturday’s preseason game against the Houston Texans, according to ESPN.
“I accept the fine,†Manning told the website. “It’s money well spent.â€
Manning was flagged for taunting Houston safety D.J. Swearinger after Swearinger’s hit on Wes Welker left the Broncos receiver with a concussion.
The incident marked the first time in Manning’s career that he had been flagged for taunting.
