Before he left the Week 7 game with a neck injury that will force him to miss the Miami Dolphins game against the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday, Kader Kohou made nice defensive plays, breaking up two passes.

Unfortunately for him, the NFL didn't appreciate his celebration after either play.

Kohou was fined over $5,500 for the two offenses against the Colts last Sunday. The first was a first-down pass breakup in the first quarter, and the second was a third-down PBU (pass breakup) in the third quarter.

After the first play, Kohou did a flexing pose with both hands down low; on the second one, he lifted his jersey and pointed somewhere around his waist as he stared down the Colts sideline while trotting off the field. Kohou was not flagged for his actions on either play.

It turns out he wasn't the only Dolphins player fined for Week 7 actions. Fullback Alec Ingold was nicked $17,445 for a low block in the third quarter, a play on which he was flagged for 15 yards.

Indianapolis didn't have a player fined for any actions during the Week 7 game at Lucas Oil Stadium.
