During the first quarter of last Sunday’s game against the Green Bay Packers, Chicago Bears defensive lineman Mario Edwards Jr. was hit with an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty. On the play in question the referee threw the flag when he saw Edwards point at Packer quarterback Aaron Rodgers and talk to him in a stern fashion.
Here’s the play if you need a refresher.
Yes, that was Green Bay’s Golden Boy grabbing Edwards by the facemask after being taken down following an incomplete pass. I’m sure Rodgers was unhappy with what he perceived as a late hit, which wasn’t flagged by the way, so he figured he’s show his displeasure by doing something illegal himself.
