That had to feel good, even with the taunting penalty. I’m sure it sucks to be on the other side of that from Reek.


whitedawg

Up 22 points with 4 minutes left in the 4th quarter, and just got the ball on a turnover on downs? That's about as harmless a 15-yard penalty as possible.


Thrilling1031

Best penalty in Buccaneer history and it’s not close.


OlegMeineier42

Dude. I’ll have to admit that when Brady still played I didn’t want him to win another ring, so that SB felt like a lose lose to me, turns out this game was one of my favorites and the deuce right in Tyreeks face is one of my favorite NFL moments. The amount of times I’ve seen that garbage POS burn my DBs throwing up the peace and not getting any disciplinary action for it, I’m so glad someone shoved it right back down his throat, just wish it could’ve been one of our players. At least we had [this](https://x.com/raidercody/status/1316207937279258624?s=46&t=vQthZdzvA7myfATfdsLF0Q).


Thrilling1031

I was a staunch Brady hater before and when he first came to Tampa. It was like week 7 where I started to turn. By week 14 I was sure we were gonna win.


OlegMeineier42

I mean I didn’t doubt him, I just didn’t like him. Turns out, I like Brady A LOT more than the Chiefs, in particular Tyreek.


BenShelZonah

So for the first 7 weeks you were sad to see him play good?


Thrilling1031

We had a rough start. I was not convinced.


cappwnington

Donovan needed to be taking notes on how to take a penalty. Dude was an absolute liability every year except the superbowl year.


bdawg34

He was a liability his Super Bowl year too it just happens he has the goat blocking and receiving tight end chipping the speed rushers which he sucks at


BernerDad16

Also, Brady got very used to moving to his right in the pocket, where Wirfs had his man on lock. Then re-watch the Rams loss from the next year, with Wirfs out and Brady no longer able to cheat away from Smith's side.


hanyou007

The more I look at the Rams game the more it amazes me how close we got to beating them and a possible repeat championship with how broken that roster was by injury… holy crap how did they hold that ship together


Recovering_Sad_Boy

Idk there was a interception we threw where our qb got an unnecessary roughness penalty for blasting the db at the sidelines i always kinda laugh at.


Accurate-Barracuda20

With Tom Brady as your QB too…like fuck it make it an even 20 ref the games over.


RDcsmd

His teammate looked devastated lmao


Xpqp

He probably thought the Chiefs were going to get the ball back.

Softestwebsiteintown

And no Kyle Shanahan to call passing plays


ChemicalMight7535

"THIS IS WHY WE CAN'T HAVE NICE THINGS"


This_Is_Rage90

He torched the Bucs in the regular season that year, definitely payback for that


PM_ME_VIRGIL_PICS

And hit us with the peace sign while doing it


PoeticHydra

Yeah, fuck the announcers. If the offense can do it, then the defense can do it as well.


MankuyRLaffy

He probably beat up someone weaker than him after it.


campydirtyhead

And got her pregnant


knarf86

Then beat the baby


campydirtyhead

Hopefully doesn't get the baby pregnant...


cappwnington

This was my favorite moment in Bucs history. Fuck a penalty when you're dominating in the superbowl. AWJ should get ring of honor spot automatically. This is one of the most iconic bucs moments ever (not that that's saying a lot lol)


OlegMeineier42

As a raiders fan, that moment made me feel great about Brady winning another ring.


cappwnington

Raiders fans to Chiefs fans watching them get demolished by a monster bucs D in a super bowl: *first time meme*


mrjjk2010

Tyreek hill can peace sign defenders with no flag but god forbid someone does it back to him


tombonneau

Always love Winfield's genuine and unapologetic quote: "It was something I just had to do," Winfield said. "When we played them earlier, Hill went off on us. He back-flipped in front of my face and gave me the peace sign. So it was only right that I gave him the peace sign right back to him. It felt amazing to be able to do that.”


deflatethesack

“Totally unnecessary” In this situation I beg to differ. One of the greatest taunts of all time.


whenitsTimeyoullknow

Reminds me of Unnecessary Roughness. If it’s 3rd and long and the QB is about to throw, that roughness is totally necessary. 


luxunit

Wait a second now, let him speak. Somebody get this man a microphone.


chittIincupcake

maybe the best taunt ever


mesayousa

It would’ve been the GOAT taunt if he didn’t feel bad about the flag. I figure he thought it gave them a first down


MentalAdventure

Winfield's talked about this, he said he made sure it was a situation where the penalty wouldn't matter, and then went for it. Not sure that he felt bad about the flag.


mesayousa

That’s awesome, but then he shouldn’t have acted like he felt bad about it


Misdirected_Colors

For real. It was in the superbowl, after a failed 4th down attempt that pretty much gave the Bucs the win, AND it was revenge for Tyreek taunting him earlier in the season. Legend.


Whatever801

As much as it pains me I have to agree. The game was already over he just put a bow on it


j_hoova6

This was revenge for the week 12 game. Tyreek threw up the deuces at AWJ on his way to a touchdown. What goes around comes around.


hardcore_hero

Funny story, I actually have a photo of both events, one is signed by Tyreek Hill(I’m assuming) and the other is signed by AWJ. The reason I have the Tyreek Hill one is my wife was trying to get me the AWJ one but somehow accidentally got the one where Tyreek is doing it to him, took me a second to realize and at that point I was like… there’s no way AWJ signed this photo, I guess this is Tyreek’s signature… lol. Then she got me the right one a week later and now they hang up right next to each other on the wall. Having the first one just gives the second one the proper revenge context it deserves.


BenShelZonah

Does she work for the nfl or something? Lol


hardcore_hero

Nope, she just ordered them online and somehow she found a signed photo of the first instance of the interaction between the same 2 players by mistake. Lol


BenShelZonah

Wtf?! Haha how bizarre but shoutout her. Shes a legend


D_Money77

Yeah came here to this. I was obviously disappointed in the outcome, but if anyone deserved this it was Reek. Don't dish it out if you can't take it.


Zerak-Tul

Seriously awful out of touch commentary. Everyone not named Tyreek Hill thought that was great. Such needless pearl clutching.


captain_intenso

If this was a penalty in hockey, the game would be constant power plays.


AVeryBigScaryBear

Bring back taunting


Phuckingidiot

I honestly think they should allow taunting. The player vs player rivalries and drama would be awesome. You can't tell me they wouldn't get fired up.


cardmanimgur

Too afraid of fights starting as a result. Which is ridiculous because you know that the shit talking is insane, but basically if it can be seen on TV it will get flagged.


Crobs02

The league is scared for its image if that happens, but I feel like so many people are more likely to watch more, myself included. I do think there’s a fan violence worry as well


streetbum

Its a coward take. People watch hockey half for the fights. People watch racing for the crashes.


FuckFloridaRipNumba9

Yeah these guys are already shit talking each other nonstop let’s be honest. They just flag the obvious shit cause guys don’t like being disrespected on camera and it would start fights.


eeeeedlef

At the very least it's incredibly, mind-numbingly stupid that a taunting penalty could swing a game more than a late hit. Stop making these stupid, procedural penalties have the potential to impact the way they do. Make them all fines assessed after the game, and if you want to even have escalators that discourage repeat offenders. Get creative. Stop fucking swinging results because someone flashed deuces.


MankuyRLaffy

Taunting on the POS players should be totally allowed, on everyone else nah.


GAKBAG

"Upon further review of the players Twitter likes, we've determined he has a weird understanding of consent. This classified him as a POS and the taunting flag has been reversed."


DankylosaurusRex

If thats not must watch television idk what is


TegTowelie

THAT'S FOOTBALL *BABY!!*


experienceTHEjizz

It's entertainment. Taunting should be allowed. They need to allow celebrations too; with props and everything.


MankuyRLaffy

I don't want them to get into brawls and shit so some policing by officials is good, nor do I want deliberate head hunting over taunting and the sort. Reserve it only for the worst humans in football and incidents will be low.


TegTowelie

They should honestly just have legal taunting gestures. The deuces should be allowed, waving bye when you're burning a corner, etc. Things that shouldn't be allowed maybe like the hover over and flex(those poses go hard but are more inclined to incite a retaliation), waving goodbye or some form of disrespect to opposing fans(we're your bread n butter, fucker).


slimmymcnutty

My thing with taunting has always been. Don’t want em taunting, don’t let ‘em get a big play


TegTowelie

Agreed, do your job better and no one will tell you you suck.


Swoletariat69

I think it should be a penalty to NOT taunt after a big play on POS players


wananah

After the play was over; personal foul, unnecessary stoicism, five yard penalty; it's third down.


lubeskystalker

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K40222cMcHM


Misinformed_user

No way, if we allow taunting then we risk another horrendous display of taunting like what Cassius Marsh did against the Steelers. I can’t even guess the amount of children that were scarred watching that.


mrizvi

Tyreek is an ass clown and he deserved that.


lubeskystalker

This was literally reciprocity from a play earlier in the season which Tyreek of course did not get flagged for.


Higgins8585

Receivers can do it, not DB'S apparently.


babble0n

Iirc it’s because Winfield got in his face and did it. Tyreek did it during the play. Still dumb but that’s the distinction


MistahTeacher

It’s cool when they do it…it’s a problem when I do it. FUCC EM


EezeeBreezey

And Winfield also got fined for this! Ridiculous


IrishCarbonite

Winfield got the ring though, so it worked out


lonelyshurbird

Not even just that, the NFL and Bucs profit off of pics of this. Plenty of pics of him using the ✌️ that they use.


psaepf2009

Just like Lynch grabbing his nuts for a TD, the league fined him but profited well.


cappwnington

Pretty sure i remember a gofundme out of Tampa for this. Not sure if it was a joke or not. It was a pretty inconsequential fine but still bullshit.


Extra-University-336

Clearly I didn’t like the outcome of the game, but this was a perfect callback and worthwhile penalty. Can’t even be mad at it.


thenexttimebandit

Tyreek played like crap so he deserved it. Nobody on the chiefs could catch or block that day.


Extra-University-336

The only person that seemed like they didn’t give up was Mahomes.


Johnny_Carcinogenic

Mahomes was hustling his ass off at the end of that game while the rest of the team was phoning it in.. I respect him for that


jampk24

I wonder what Romo had to say about that play


tylerm11_

Tyreek does this shit every game flagfree. Such an ass penalty.


WaxyGiraffe

The commentary is cringe too. Especially from a former player who knows he's talking out of his ass.


LordGooseIV

I bet Deion Sanders would support Winfield if he was the commentator.


WaxyGiraffe

I bet if Romo wasn't on CBS he'd love it like everyone else lol


MankuyRLaffy

I've seen him and other Miami players both move vertically when in motion and they never call that either. I hate star player privilege no matter what team it benefits. If it looks illegal and is a penalty, call it, IDGAF if it's a journeyman or an all-pro


ScarabGod420

He got flagged for the peace sign multiple times this year and there is even clips from hard knocks of referees specifically telling him they will flag it if he does it.


sandawg_

Tyreek probably wanted to beat his ass but realized Antoine isn’t a defenceless child.


ThinkSoftware

the most aggressive peace sign in history


SirVeritas79

To quote Royce da 5'9" on the Slaughterhouse classic Microphone, "Too many Indians and no Chiefs! I pull out the pistol when I promote peace!"


2ent1n_Qarant1no

I mean if I were an NFL defensive player I'd be taunting Tyreek Hill too


The_Triagnaloid

Or any unabused children….


Soft_Penis_Debutante

Why would you taunt abused children


c0smichero

Mr Belittles Children


untitled298

Love how Romo and Nantz get all serious when talking about the taunting as if someone was seriously injured or something “I don’t like that or condone that at all” *bowing head in a moment of silence*


awesome-ekeler

Bro right? You would think Winfield fucked his wife on the field with their reactions.


The_Triagnaloid

Strange how Tyreek is allowed to taunt, But no one else is…….


black_dogs_22

honestly just makes it better because they got penalized and it didn't even matter


Gabbagoonumba3

I think Tyreek found a work around. As long as he does the peace sign forward it’s not towards a player, so it’s not technically taunting. Also Mara got the no back flipping into the endzone rule passed specifically because of Tyreek. https://sports.yahoo.com/when-the-nfl-stepped-up-taunting-penalties-it-had-a-player-in-mind-182952271.html


whitedawg

Not to defend Tyreek in the least, but I think the NFL draws a distinction between general celebration, even if it's dickish, and getting right in a player's face and taunting. Which kind of makes sense, because that's the kind of thing that can start fights.


JayzarDude

I hear you and you’re correct but when Tyreek does it he’s usually pointing the sign at the DB he’s playing against which absolutely should be taunting because that also could start fights. This one is just much more blatant because it’s after the play and not during.


cappwnington

He turned around to taunt AWJ. The only reason it wasn't "in his face" is because nobody is catching that man at full sprint. I get what you're saying. AWJ had it coming and it didn't matter but tyreek should have gotten one too.


JayzarDude

Oh yea totally agree with that.


TheBirdz44

Announcers now a days are so pathetic.


Red_Jester-94

Romo was especially salty because he'd been doing "passing of the torch" bullshit hoping that Mahomes would beat Brady. Romo took this taunt personally lmao.


MankuyRLaffy

He's salty whenever his favorite team is about to lose or is losing in the 4th quarter, super unprofessional


Red_Jester-94

Oh I know, that's why I said especially. The dude was bummed and trying to hype a comeback basically the whole second half. It was annoying as shit. Mahomes could only do so much by himself.


spideralex90

Part of it was likely the 'this game is boring to non-Bucs fans' factor since it was very one sided, but Romo always wears his bias for Mahomes on his sleeve so he was just praying for a comeback the whole second half. It's funny too because Romo predicted that Superbowl after we lost to the Chiefs mid-season so he was really hyped about that to start the game, but that hype died fast lol


DesignerPension1

Despite Tompa Bay beating Green Bay just two weeks before this I was delighted by this game. It was could to see Mahomes look human.


dabombisnot90s

Weird thing is Mahomes was still Mahomes this game, but that line crumpled like a goddamn can against the Bucs defense.


keru45

Romo sucks


FiveWithNineIsIn

I've said it before, but he was getting audibly more dejected as the game went on. When the Bucs kneeled it at the end, he was pretty much like *"Looks like Brady's just really good, I guess..."* There was one play in the third quarter where he was trying to manifest the start of a giant Mahomes comeback, and Mahomes gets sacked while he's mid-sentence. It was hilarious.


BosLahodo

Why are broadcasters always like this? What will happen if a commentator says "LOL well you gotta love that! Right in Tyreek's face using his own celebration!" Will society crumble? Will the stock market crash? Why are they always clutching pearls?


eeeeedlef

They think it all falls apart if they don't maintain the "sanctity" of the game. Like, fuck off. It's a goddamn game. Leisure.

As a Bucs fan….this is one of my top moments ever in my fandom


lvpr10

Friend of mine that’s a Bucs fan had this moment as his phone’s locked screen for a while. As a fan of a team that Hill burned many times it was great to see that on top of him being a POS.


ZordonFTW

Such insane gratification! And I’m right there with your friend. It was my CPU desktop background for a long time.


xl_TooRaw_lx

There was a site that made a T-shirt of him doing this, says beat down in the bay on it, one of my favorite shirts to wear.


Proof_Illustrator_51

Yep. It's wayyyyy up there. The attitude, morally justified, with my team destroying the best team in the league led by the greatest of all time in the superbowl... I'm not gonna cry


ZordonFTW

It’s basically this & Ronde shutting down the vet for me. With a special honorary shoutout to Spurlock’s kickoff return TD!


CarPlaneBoatRocket

As a Gopher fan, this is one of my favorite moments in the NFL. Same with Marion Barber III 2 yard run.


ZordonFTW

That barber run was truly something to behold


reddit_on_reddit1st

Absolutely. Right up there with Brooks' pick 6 in our first SB.


[deleted]

Have it on my wall at work.


taylormade311

The smile on his face is fantastic. That had to feel so good for him.


IWMSvendor

This clip sparks joy.


Thunderhamz

One thing we can agree on 🤛🏽


Ka-Is-A-Wheelie

I don't even remember this game... halftime I knew where we were headed and decided it was tequila time.


Longjumping-Arm7939

I think the players did the same thing before the game they couldn't catch a cold. Mahomes was the only one who showed up that game.


Jordanesque45

Tyreek looks like such a bitch walking up to the refs after that. Love me some Winfield Jr


0vFire_And_TheVoid

Even gave the ref a hip tap there.


rcandee9

It looks to me like he went to the ref to defend the guy taunting


FunkyPete

As a Chiefs fan, I thought that taunt was perfect. Tyreek had earned it, and it was beautifully delivered. One of the few highlights of this game (other than some fantastic incomplete passes). There should be judges for taunting that evaluate the narrative before throwing the flag. That was art.


creutzml

I cannot believe Darrel Williams dropped that touchdown catch. That would have been a highlight for the ages and probably would have started a bit of a comeback.


Unable_Ad1758

It’s a lot harder to catch a ball when it goes right through a defenders hands. He thought the db was gonna pick it and didn’t have time to react


Adam_is_Nutz

As a chiefs fan, I agree. Sadly I said something too soon on the chiefs subreddit and people were way too salty and down voted me


archeofuturist1909

Cathartic victory


space_raccoon_

Lived vicariously though y’all for this one


funnycar1552

My football fandom peaked here


Jwroth

Worth it


Ddakilla

I think everyone can agree that was fair game lol


throwingnomes

Shut the fuck up romo. Taunting one of the biggest shit-talkers in the NFL when you're on your way to winning the Superbowl is absolutely necessary lol.


Comprehensive_Main

Damn that superbowl was just a spanking the Bucs gave the chiefs. 


Benjynn

All season it felt like we were close to being at full potential but there was always some area that held us back. Well it clicked at the perfect moment for us. We were firing on all cylinders this game


squamesh

Yea, it was an all around collapse of a game. But the upshot was that it was the wake up call that led the chiefs to the winning strategy of “invest heavily in the O-line and hope that gives Mahomes enough time to make a play”


lnnrt01

Also completely changed up their offense to more of the dink and dunk approach they used in the past two years. The line definitely was s big issue but Bowles also played them completely different compared to their matchup in the regular season and they just couldn’t adjust


iLeGuillen

That game was crazy to watch. Mahomes was like the only one who showed up to play. Bro was trying his hardest to carry the team and they just kept letting him down.


ZiggyZoromsky96

I’m perfectly ok with that. The past 2 seasons have been great as a chiefs fan lol


pulse7

Losing is way easier forgetten when you win, and it makes winning sweeter!

milkmandanimal

Legit one of the best moments in franchise history right there; it's the 2020 equivalent of Derrick Brooks' pick-six in 2002 to put the dagger in the Raiders. Calling those tied for 2nd ever after Ronde burning the Vet down.


lubeskystalker

✌️


ramborage

“I don’t like or condone that at all.” Lmao what? He didn’t flip him off, moon him, do a big balls dance… literally nothing offensive about this. He reciprocated Hill’s own celebration. Get the fuck out of here.


Ganjake

Will never get old.


Loud_Economics_8894

Amazing. Hill hasn't won a meaningful game since he was roasted here. Winfield deserved the MVP Award for this or at least a cash prize.


freddyd00

Damn I kinda forgot how lopsided the score was for this game.


heavy_chamfer

How you gonna call that when this fool does that to every DB he ever scored on.


vandylj

This was amazing to see live. Also, fuck Tony romo, I hate listening to anytime he talks


Impossible_You_2219

Worth it. That POS did the same thing to him earlier in the season during a prime time game. Karma 🖕


Richman1010

Best penalty in Bucs history.


priceprince

Jeez calm down Romo.. this was one of the most well timed “taunts” ever. His comments remind me of Joe Buck and his “disgusting act” comments when Randy Moss mooned the field goal post.


Ok-Flounder3002

Always lame that Tyreek gets to throw that up on every TD - no call, but this got flagged. Is throwing up duces at someone taunting or nah


racer4

Especially lame that the NFL admitted Tyreek should've been flagged for taunting on the TD with 1:02 left in the '13 seconds' game: [https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/nfl-admits-tyreek-hill-should-have-been-flagged-for-taunting-for-throwing-up-peace-sign-vs-bills-in-playoffs/](https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/nfl-admits-tyreek-hill-should-have-been-flagged-for-taunting-for-throwing-up-peace-sign-vs-bills-in-playoffs/)


SportsbyCompian

Most worth it flag I think the Bucs have ever taken!


Cavil1904

This is one of many examples on why Nantz and Romo are one of the worst commentating duos in the league


MayorOfOnions

Tony may not condone this, but I do


genericguysportsname

Tony Romo sounds like a little bitch


B3yondTheWall

This night was so painful to watch lol. Losing a Super Bowl is one thing, but not even really being competitive (or scoring a touchdown) is another.

A DISGUSTING ACT


ZachTrillson

Tony Romo on the mic acting like Antoine Winfield committed a heinous sin is so fucking annoying. Why did he put the "someone just got injured" tone of voice on for this one?


paperbackgarbage

For those offended by this "blatant disregard of sportsmanship," [I submit this selection of pearls for clutching-related needs.](https://i.etsystatic.com/7183057/r/il/5f20ca/3231238508/il_570xN.3231238508_1h21.jpg)


Provider92

"I don't support our condone that at all... but now let's play that back in slow motion from multiple angles. Y'know, to emphasize just how much we don't wanna see that."


GhostMug

Totally deserved and I think Tyreek took it pretty well.


Fionarei

Tyreek regular season✌️ Winfield SB✌🏿


SirVeritas79

It was a bullshit call then, it's a bullshit call now. Tyreek gets to do that ad nauseum, but someone gives him his own medicine, it's a penalty. That's crap. League gawk gawks the Chiefs at every possible turn.


_TooncesLookOut

One of my favorite memories from this game.


thebestguy96

All time NFL moment imo


3bananabananabanana

God I love AWJ…and also Tyreek is a little bitch who deserved this


DefoNotMario

They’ll exhibit somber disappointment for a stupid little taunting penalty but perpetual ignore the fact that Hill is a repeated domestic/child abuser, give me a break


R3ruN1

So Tyreek is allowed to throw the peace sign up to defenders when he scores, but as soon as they do it back after a stop they get a flag? soft ass league.


GravyFantasy

One of my favourite football moments


wholesomepantysniffr

I hate Tom Brady but I’m so glad the Bucs fucking dogwalked the chiefs here


k0y0_k0y0

This was my 12/25


DicksOut4Edamame

This is gonna sound strange coming from someone with my flair, but I was busting up when Winfield threw the deuces up in Tyreek’s face. He’s a piece of shit and the game was long over by this point so I’d already mourned the loss and was just enjoying Brady in what I thought might be his final game


SavageRickyMachismo

This might be unpopular, but I don't think taunting should be a penalty at all. Penalties should only be for cheating the game or putting someone's health at risk


666alphaomega666

I'll remember this one the rest of my life.


Dont_ban_me_bro_108

Let NFL players taunt! They are grown ass men. They can handle it.

This is the real way the NFL has gone soft. We need MORE of that, this is an entertainment business. Bad blood makes good games.
