Alvin Kamara's red and green cleats that he wore during his NFL record-tying six-touchdown performance on Christmas day have cost him $5,000, according to multiple reports.

The fine from the NFL is for violating league uniform rules. Kamara expected that, and mentioned it during interviews after the 52-33 win over Minnesota.


"Oh, they’re probably going to fine me," Kamara said in post-game interviews. "If they fine me, whatever it is, I’ll just match it and donate it to charity. You know that the Grinch always tries to steal Christmas."

Fines paid by NFL players go into a fund for former players.
