Another awful taunting call by the refs was made against the Chicago Bears’ linebacker Cassius Marsh in Monday night’s 29-27 loss against the Pittsburgh Steelers, as he celebrated after sacking Ben Roethlisberger.<\/p>\n
Marsh was excited as the play he made would have led to the Steelers punting the ball away with a 3-point lead late in the fourth quarter. He celebrated with a kick in the air and by looking towards the sidelines after that and got a little emotional during that celebration, but the ref thought he got carried away.<\/p>\n
“First of all, keep in mind that taunting is a point of emphasis this year,” said referee Tony Corrente<\/a> after the game. “I saw the player after he made a big play, run toward the bench area of the Pittsburgh Steelers and posture in such a way that I felt he was taunting them.\u201d<\/p>\n And just moments after the celebration, another inexplicable situation happened when the same referee and Cassius Marsh made contact while Marsh was coming off the field, which led to Corrente throwing the flag, although many would say that the referee initiated the contact with his hip.<\/p>\n
