Panthers tight end Tommy Tremble caught his second touchdown during Sunday's 25-14 win over the Eagles, but the score was followed by a taunting penalty that cost his team on the extra point.
Tremble celebrated the touchdown by taunting Eagles DB Cooper DeJean, drawing a 15-yard flag. The penalty pushed back the extra point attempt, which was missed. The Panthers still secured the win.
The incident came one play after DeJean received a personal foul for picking up TE Mitchell Evans and slamming him to the ground following a Chuba Hubbard run. Tremble said his taunt was retaliation for that hit on his teammate.
"I just thought that earlier personal foul was just kind of egregious," Tremble said after the game. He also expressed regret, stating he should not have retaliated and that his actions were not appropriate.
Tremble is likely facing a league fine for the taunting penalty.
