Mike Tomlin on controversial taunting call against Steelers: 'We have to exercise some common sense'

Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin supports the NFL's crackdown on taunting ... but not when it happens to one of his players.

Tomlin took issue with a taunting call during Sunday's game against Kansas City, saying officials "have to exercise some common sense" when throwing a flag.

The penalty occurred with just under five minutes to play in the third quarter. Receiver Ray Ray McLoud snagged a pass from Ben Roethlisberger to convert a third down. As McLoud was getting up, he made a first-down motion in front of Chiefs defender L'Jarius Sneed.
