Rams' Jared Verse Feared Taunting Flag After Blocked Field Goal Touchdown

Los Angeles Rams linebacker Jared Verse blocked a field goal attempt against the Falcons, recovering and returning it for a touchdown. During the play, Verse flashed two fingers to the Atlanta sideline, admitting he feared a taunting penalty and coach Sean McVay's reaction. While taunting fouls don't negate touchdowns, they can result in a 15-yard penalty on the PAT, which was not called in this instance. Verse is now likely to receive a fine from the NFL for the gesture, despite it being missed by officials during the game.
