Panthers running back Rico Dowdle was fined $14,491 for his two pump touchdown celebration during Carolina’s 16-13 Week 9 win at Green Bay, a call his agent will appeal. He launched a GoFundMe, pledging 100% of proceeds to Children’s Home Society of North Carolina; more than $16,000 had been raised by Thursday toward a $20,000 goal. His two pelvic thrusts drew a 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty, and Carolina missed an extra point. Keegan-Michael Key wrote, "Two pumps?! You got robbed!!" on Instagram. Dowdle has rushed for 735 yards and four touchdowns across nine games as Carolina moved to 5-4.
