NFL fans didn't agree with this call against Josh Allen's innocuous taunt.
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.
