Joe Burrow expresses frustration with NFL regulation after witnessing the Kansas City Chiefs gain an advantage against the Ravens.
Joe Burrow criticized NFL taunting rules following a contentious call during the AFC Championship game between the Kansas City Chiefs and Baltimore Ravens.
Ravens newcomer Zay Flowers received a taunting penalty, a decision that Burrow, the Cincinnati Bengals quarterback, opposed. He shared his disagreement on Twitter, advocating for leniency: “Allow the players to taunt.”
The penalty against Flowers proved costly for the Ravens, setting them back 15 yards and away from the endzone. Subsequently, Flowers made another error, fumbling the ball as he attempted to score a touchdown.
Chiefs safety L’Jarius Sneed dislodged the ball before it exited the endzone, resulting in a touchback and turnover. Shortly afterward, Flowers injured his hand in frustration by striking his helmet.
Quarterback Lamar Jackson orchestrated an impressive drive for the Ravens, only to throw an interception into triple coverage, extinguishing any hopes of a comeback.
