Neal threw his helmet reacting to the pain of the injury. The NFL officials are being criticized for flagging Neal for unsportsmanlike conduct in that situation.
Keanu Neal. Wow.
AND….they gave him a penalty for throwing his helmet after getting hurt. I’m not sure if I agree with that, and I’m not a huge Falcons fan or anything. What a shitty job by the refs. Pick up the flag there.
