KANSAS CITY, Mo. (KCTV) – Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy’s pockets are a little lighter this week.
The second-year Chiefs wideout was fined by the NFL for taunting during Kansas City’s 31-0 Week 7 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders.
Worthy was fined for an unsportsmanlike conduct that went uncalled during the game. It happened in the third quarter after Worthy caught a 12-yard pass from quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
Worthy got up after the play and looked down at Raiders defensive back Darnay Holmes, who was flagged for holding on the play.

The $11,593 fine for Worthy was his first unsportsmanlike conduct fine of the season.
According to the NFL, just .77% of all plays this season have resulted in fines.
Raiders safety Isaiah Pola-Mao was also fined for his actions during the game. Pola-Mao was fined $17,278 for unnecessary roughness for what the NFL described as a “use of the helmet” violation. It came on a five-yard pass to Chiefs running back Brashard Smith that went unflagged during the game.
Worthy and the Chiefs will be back in action Monday night against the Washington Commanders.
