In a matter of days, Antonio Brown's butt managed to earn a 15-yard penalty and a fine. But his response was even more incredible.

The Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver has been fined for twerking, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, a celebration Brown debuted after scoring a touchdown in Monday night's victory over Washington.

The price tag on Brown's twerk should be $12,154, a typical fine for a first-time unsportsmanlike conduct offense, according to NFL guidelines.

Brown's response, per Fowler, was amazing:

"Nothing to a boss."

Brown will also be fined $9,115 for the blue cleats he sported that night, according to ESPN.

Twerking likely falls under the "sexually suggestive" category of the NFL's unsportsmanlike conduct bylaws, which subjects players to fines.

But that's nothing to a boss.
