in the crowd after scoring, does the team or player pay a
penalty for throwing the football into the crowd?

Under NFL rules, handing the ball to a fan is permitted, and players do that every Sunday without getting fined. But the NFL worries that throwing the ball into the stands could be a fan safety issue: Fans may run into each other while trying to catch the ball, start fighting over the ball, or even fall over a railing while reaching for a ball.

The player pays the fine if it still exists. It used to be like 1,000. Elway was fined once for giving a ball to a kid in the stands who was in a wheelchair! I think that is a ridiculous fine.
