Beckham has been fined by the NFL four times in the first six weeks of the season for a total of $96,772. Beckham has been fined $179,007 for on-field conduct during his three-year career.
Beckham, who is probable for Sunday's game against the Rams, removed his helmet as he exited the back of the end zone after racing 66 yards for the winning touchdown in Sunday's game. Beckham apologized to coach Ben McAdoo on the sideline after committing the penalty, which cost the Giants 15 yards on the ensuing kickoff.
"He came up to me right after," McAdoo said. "We had a discussion about it. Can't have it. He knows that. He went out and wanted to fire up the kickoff coverage team and the defense. He knows we can't have it."
Cornerback Janoris Jenkins was fined $9,115 for a facemask penalty in Sunday's game, according to SNY.
