NFL put an emphasis on taunting penalties, and they're reminded referees again to throw flags. J.J. Watt understands the fine line, but he also thinks trash talk is part of the game.

It was three years ago when the NFL went to its officials and reminded them to make sure they throw flags when they see taunting on the gridiron. After four weeks this season, the NFL is nudging referees again, according to Pro Football Talk, as there is a 'point of clarification' as to what is categorized as taunting after fines have been dished out for it despite no flags being thrown.

Lamb was seen jawing at a Giants defender and tossed the ball in his general direction when the flag came in. Watt did not feel that was a moment when it was necessary. 'It’s not like he whipped it at his head or anything,' he said. 'It’s not like it even hit the guy, so those are the ones I’m like, ‘Yeah, all right, he had a little bit of emotion. It wasn’t anything crazy, he just scored this long touchdown.
