Denver Broncos receiver Emmanuel Sanders agreed to cost his team a potential touchdown with a sarcastic penalty Sunday, while also attempting an NFL shot for weakening the game.

"We have the impression that the league has become soft", Sanders said, according to ESPN. "I'm having fun, I did not do anything crazy for the guy, except to say," I got you for this game. "

The flag was launched after the 43-yard offense in the first quarter of Sanders gave the Broncos a goal and a goal on the Rams' 1-yard line. Initially, the game was considered a touchdown, but the repetition changed the ball position.

Sanders got up after a shot and pointed a finger straight to Rams' corner-half, Troy Hill.

If it had been a touchdown, the shots on goal would have been evaluated at the time of sending.

The personal foul allowed the Broncos to return to the 16-yard line and they finally opted for a placement. The Broncos lost 23-20 against the Rams.

Sanders' criticism comes at a time when others say that the increase in the number of penalties imposed on passers-by for rough smugglers this season also softens the game.

Sanders, in his ninth season in the NFL, said it was normal for him to point fingers at guys after a big play: "Look at my movie, I'm showing guys all the time and I've told them says, "I got you for this room," he said.

It was the second sanction of Sanders' career.

According to Pro Football Reference, there were 11 taunting penalties in the first six weeks of this season. In 2017, the taunt has been reported only 18 times throughout the season.
