New England Patriots rookie Chase Winovich apologized to his mother on social media over the weekend for getting a fine over his touchdown celebration during a game against the New York Giants.

Winovich scored on a 6-yard return of a blocked punt to put the Patriots up six points early in the game. Winovich then proceeded to launch the football into the stands. The NFL fined Winovich about $7,000 for the action and it seemed to have cost him more than just money.
