15 yards for flexing. Ref's never been in a gym and he took it personally.

Right in the guy's face. He deserved it. Didn't he drop 2 TD passes in that game?

Good call. No place in this game for egregious show-boating like that. Golden should learn from his mistakes next time.

Golden scored a 9-yard touchdown on the opening drive against Dallas. The flag on the celebration is getting more attention than the play itself

So chocking gestures are fine. Flexing… nope that’s too far. The NFL is so wildly inconsistent it’s insane

It wasn’t the flex it was the flex and the stare. Weak either way, but always funny too see often hurt WR’s flexing !

No different than a player signaling a 1st down. Officials too visible in this game

Lame. But they call that stuff; next time flex to the crowd and you are good to go.

I saw them penalizing college teams for similar benign celebrations. I thought this is a little ridiculous. And then we see it at the professional level.

Welcome to the no fun league soft ass call

No. He flexed in the face of his opponent for the sole purpose of gloating. Flag every time.
Replying to @barstoolsports
I mean.... if he wasn't facing the DB id agree its BS, but doing at a player will draw the flag

They wouldn’t have flagged him if he caught his TDs, it’s because it was undeserved

Yet defensive players can run 80 yards down field to the other endzone and celebrate like idiots for a turnover or a good defensive play🤦🏻🤦🏻

Pathetic. If you make a good play and can’t taunt your opponent than what’s the point of taunting?

the unsportsmanlike penalty is the stupidest rule in ANY professional sport.
