Broncos' Emmanuel Sanders Reacts to Taunting Penalty: 'League Has Gotten Soft'

Denver Broncos receiver Emmanuel Sanders was called for a taunting penalty during Sunday's loss to the Los Angeles Rams that might have cost his team a touchdown, but he blamed the changing attitude of the NFL.

"To me it feels like the league has gotten soft," Sanders said after the game, per Nicki Jhabvala of The Athletic. "All I did was point and say, 'I got you.'"

The penalty came at the end of a 43-yard catch that at first appeared to be a touchdown, but he was ruled down at the 1-yard line.
