The first taunting penalty of the 2021 NFL season has been handed out.
Tampa Bay center Ryan Jensen and Cowboys defensive lineman Carlos Watkins traded barbs just feet away from a ref, and whatever was said led to Watkins throwing a punch at Jensen, hitting his face mask. The Buccaneer looked at the referee and pointed at Watkins, and the official threw a flag as he jogged towards the two.
Jensen was called for taunting while Watkins was handed an unnecessary roughness call. The two penalties offset each other.
And fans weren't the only ones confused by the call.
