CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- You might be wondering what Carolina Panthers center Fernando Velasco did to warrant an unnecessary roughness penalty in the second quarter of Monday night’s 29-26 overtime win against Indianapolis.
Tip: The Luke Kuechly Rule.
Tip II: Carolina’s game at Green Bay last season as the Panthers prepare to face the Packers on Sunday at Bank of America Stadium.
Kuechly was ejected for what was considered a swing at an official when the middle linebacker was pulling players off a pile during a scrum.
Kuechly wasn’t aware it was an official that grabbed him from behind when he swung his arm to get out of the hold.
