Green Bay Packers wide receiver Matthew Golden was fined almost $12,000 for taunting during Week 6 of the 2026 season.

The NFL fined Golden $11,941 for his taunting penalty in the first quarter of the Packers' 23-13 win over the Dallas Cowboys last Sunday. Golden turned and flexed -- in the general direction of a Cowboys player -- at the end of a 37-yard catch in the first quarter. He was penalized 15 yards for taunting and now has a fine to go with in.

Here's the play, and Golden's comments post-game:

Dating back to the preseason, the NFL has fined a player 25 times for taunting in 2026.

Golden is the fifth Packers player to be fined during the 2026 season but the first since Week 2.
