Pittsburgh: So, here’s the scoop. Marlon Humphrey, the Ravens cornerback, made a big play with an interception in the fourth quarter against the Steelers. As he was running toward the end zone, it looked like he was taunting a Steelers player by holding the ball out. But he didn’t get flagged for it, though he might still face a fine.
After the game, Humphrey was quick to clear things up. He told reporters that he wasn’t trying to taunt anyone. Instead, he was trying to pitch the ball to his teammate, David Ojabo. He said, “I just want to make that very clear.”
Now, it’s a bit tricky. At first glance, it does look like he was holding the ball out to tease the other player. Then he pulled it back and pointed it at Steelers receiver Calvin Austin III. So, yeah, it kind of looks like a taunt. We’ll see if he gets fined for it soon.
