Bears' Cassius Marsh Talks Controversial Taunting Penalty, Being Bumped by Referee

The Chicago Bears' Cassius Marsh questioned the contact made by referee Tony Corrente after the linebacker was penalized for taunting on Monday Night Football against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

"On my way to the sideline, I got hip-checked by the ref. It's pretty clear," Marsh told reporters after the Bears' 29-27 loss. "If I was to do that to a ref or even touch a ref, we get kicked out of the game and possibly suspended and fined. I just think that that was incredibly inappropriate."
