I saw this yesterday. A player ran in a 61 yard touchdown pass and his team won a miraculous play-off game. After he scored, he gracefully removed his helmet and threw it stage left as he took a bow to the delirious crowd. The helmet landed 20 yards at away, right at the feet of a referee who instantly threw his flag. It seemed like the right call, but when they lined up for the next play - a joyous and unnecessary extra point that involved a humiliating "Walk of Shame" by the other team - the penalty flag seemed forgotten and the teams just lined up at the three yard line where an incredible Icelandic tradition involving clapping above ones head commenced. Why wasn't the penalty enforced? |

Declining the penalty didn't make sense to me, so I actually checked the official box score. It wasn't declined, there was no penalty on the play. They must have picked up the flag, but the reason isn't obvious. Oh well, we won! |

There was an offsetting penalty, on the opposing coach, for taunting the crowd. Or at least that is the story that I'm sticking to. Skol chant > Who Dat Edited by Lloyd Christmas, Jan 17 2018, 11:35 AM.

Since there was no time left on the clock the penalty couldn’t be enforced (it would be on the kickoff had there been one). I actually applaud the refs for not calling delay of game on the extra point. Both teams were certainly guilty of it. |
