"They call that taunting, and I am a firm believer in the taunting rule; I don't think there is any place for taunting your opponent," Holmgren said. "But Darrell caught the ball, got hit twice after the catch and they say he threw it at an opponent and he didn't do that. Both guys were on the side and he was facing outward and he spiked the ball hard. It was a reaction to him getting hit and I don't think he was taunting. "Again, I am emotional about it. It gave them 15 yards on the kickoff, which is a huge penalty. They scored on that drive after that. Against the Rams, you can't give them 15 yards. They move the ball too easily as it is. I thought the call was wrong. Now tomorrow, if I am wrong, I will phone the officials and apologize." |
