Baltimore Ravens Player Fined for Celebratory Camera Incident
The Baltimore Ravens celebrated their 34-10 victory over the Houston Texans last week, but one player’s celebration landed him a fine. Offensive tackle Morgan Moses was fined $13,659 for using a photographer’s camera during the team’s end zone celebration, which the league deemed unsportsmanlike conduct, according to a report from Pro Football Talk.
Violation of NFL Celebration Rules
The NFL has strict rules against celebrations involving props and imposes fines on players who violate these rules. Moses was seen grabbing a photographer’s camera and using it after a Lamar Jackson touchdown run against the Texans. The touchdown put the Ravens ahead 30-10 in the fourth quarter, securing their victory in the divisional-round contest.
A Memorable Moment Captured
As Moses used the camera, Jackson posed for a photo with Ronnie Stanley, the Ravens’ starting left tackle. The moment was captured and shared on social media, showcasing the team’s camaraderie and celebration of their success.
A Seasoned NFL Veteran
Morgan Moses, 32, is a 10-year NFL veteran who was drafted in the third round (No. 66 overall) in 2014 from the University of Virginia. He signed a three-year, $15 million deal with the Ravens before the 2022 NFL season. In the final year of his contract, Moses is set to earn a base salary of $5.5 million next season.
A Reliable and Experienced Player
Moses has a reputation for durability, having started at least 16 games in every season from 2015 until this year. He has made a total of 142 career starts. Prior to joining the Ravens, Moses played for the Washington Football Team from 2015 to 2020 and spent one season with the New York Jets in 2021.
