New Orleans Saints wideout Michael Thomas has been fined $30,000 for using a cellphone while celebrating a touchdown last week against the Los Angeles Rams, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.

The celebration was a tribute to Saints icon Joe Horn, who famously whipped out a cellphone after scoring a touchdown in 2003. Horn was also fined $30,000.

Thomas pulled out a phone after scoring a 72-yard touchdown that all but cemented New Orleans' victory over the Rams. Both the play, and the celebration, sent the Superdome into a frenzy.
