NFL EVP Says Refs Missed a Taunting Penalty on Tyreek Hill For Peace Sign Celebration in Playoffs

While talking to reporters in Florida during the league’s annual meeting, NFL executive vice president of football operations Troy Vincent admitted that referees missed a taunting penalty on Tyreek Hill against the Bills this past postseason. Hill threw up the peace sign on his way to a critical fourth-quarter touchdown while with the Chiefs.

“Tyreek was one that was missed,” he said when addressing missed taunting calls. “That was a missed call, should’ve been called.”

Hill has thrown up the peace sign several times in the past to taunt defenders before he walks in the end zone, but has never been flagged for it.
