NFL could fine Beyonce for what she did at her Christmas halftime show

Beyonce could be fined by the NFL for making a gun hand gesture at the Christmas Day half-time performance as the Houston Texans took on the Baltimore Ravens at the NRG Stadium on Wednesday.

The 43-year-old took to the stage in a white bodysuit with a cowboy hat and sang some of her hit tracks with Post Malone and Shaboozey later appearing on stage too, before the Grammy-winning artist kicked up controversy.

Beyoncé's banned hand gesture during her Christmas Day halftime performance

The moment came when she was lifted up by a platform after finishing Texas Hold 'Em, where she made a finger-gun gesture whilst the words "bang" dropped beneath the platform on a banner, leaving fans upset as they took to social media to complain.

One wrote via X.com, formerly Twitter, "Is the @NFL going to fine @Beyonce for finger guns?!"

Whilst a second added, "I was thinking the same thing!! How many players were fined for that?"

And a third commented, "Where is the flag on Beyoncé for the finger guns?!?!"

Finger-gun gestures are strictly forbidden by the NFL and offending players can find themselves hit with a 15-yard penalty as Roger Goodell looks to create a family and child friendly environment.

Jay-Z skips Beyonce show in Texas

Beyonce took to the stage without the of her controversial husband in the stands, after Jay-Z was accused of raping a 13-year-old girl at one of Sean Combs' parties all the way back in 2000.

Jay-Z, who is really called Shawn Carter, has denied the allegations and has hit out at the lawsuit as a blackmail attempt whilst highlighting what he believes are a series of inconsistencies within the filing.

The couple's eldest daughter, Blue Ivy, was at the NRG Stadium on December 25 and the 12-year-old later came out to dance with her mother before Lamar Jackson spurred the Ravens on to a 31-2 victory, ing for two touchdowns on just 15 attempts as well as rushing for one too.
