Midway though the fourth quarter after the Cincinnati Bengals sacked Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders was in the huddle ready for the next play.
Seconds later, with the Steelers facing a delay of game penalty, Sanders dropped to the ground and got the attention of the referee, who decided to stop the clock for an injury timeout. The Steelers, who had just called a timeout prior to the Roethlisberger sack, were able to save a timeout. Two players later, the Steelers punted the ball back to the Bengals. Guess who downed the ball at the Bengals' 11-yard line?
Emmanuel Sanders.
Flops belong in the NBA or on a soccer field, not in the NFL. Hopefully Sanders and the Steelers get a call from Roger Goodell, who hands them a fine instead of an Oscar.
