In Jacksonville's 26-7 victory over Washington a week ago, Taylor drew a 15-yard penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct for gesturing after his 12-yard touchdown run late in the third quarter.
The fine was doubled because it was Taylor's second offense of the season. The league divides the fines it collects among four charities.
