NFL fans who believe star quarterbacks always receive special treatment may have a hard time explaining what happened to Josh Allen during Week 9’s Bills-Bengals game on Sunday night.
A fun moment for the Bills QB quickly took a left turn after Allen scored a rushing touchdown to tie the contest at 7–7. Allen’s two-yard scamper was set up by a pump fake to get Bengals safety Nick Scott in the air, allowing him to waltz his way into the end zone.
As Allen broke the plane, however, the two-time Pro Bowler took a moment to admire his handiwork and point at Scott in jest, prompting the officials to toss, arguably, one of the silliest taunting penalties of the season.
