Julian Edelman Fined For Excessive Celebration

The Patriots had a field day against the Denver Broncos in Week 9 of the NFL season, cruising to a 43-21 win and, at least for now, taking the top spot in the AFC. Julian Edelman came alive, with 89 receiving yards, including a five-yard TD throw from Tom Brady. He added an 84-yard punt return that sent Gillette Stadium into a frenzy. Edelman jumped in on the excitement with his celebration on the punt return, but took it just a little further than the NFL’s liking.

A small price to pay for what is considered to be a big statement win against the AFC’s other powerhouse team. The Patriots are in their bye week, their next game in Indianapolis against the Colts on Nov. 16th (8:30 p.m., NBC).
