As you could see in the above video, he was close to cornerback Davontae Harris when he showed the peace sign. Harris defended himself on Twitter.
I think they fined him for giving the peace sign to the wrong defender. I was an innocent bystander getting memed all week https://t.co/KC1Cms7Rqb

This seems to be the only time the league has a problem with it, as he was fined for the same thing last year during Week 11.
