Josh Allen absurdly got called for taunting for pointing and laughing at a Bengals defender on a TD run

This isn’t the first time Josh Allen’s done a bit of showboating before scoring a touchdown.

A few weeks ago, Allen stared down a Buccaneers defender before crossing the goal line for a Buffalo Bills touchdown. On Sunday, Allen broke out the oldest barb in the book: the good old point and laugh.

During the first quarter of Sunday Night Football between the Cincinnati Bengals and the Bills, Allen opened the scoring for the visitors with a two-yard scramble to tie the game 7-7. On the run, Allen looked to his side and pointed at Bengals safety Nick Scott — who was chasing him down — before rushing into the end zone for the touchdown.

Despite being a small gesture, Allen ended up being flagged for taunting on the play.

Josh Allen takes it in the end zone.

Opening drive TDs for both offenses!

This is definitely a case of the No Fun League rearing its head once more. A taunting penalty over a quick point and laugh? The nerve!

NFL fans, however, had so many jokes about Allen’s touchdown celebration.

Josh Allen should honestly be put in jail for pointing his finger at the defender.

Great job by the refs for protecting today’s youth by flagging him for taunting.
