NFL Rumors: 'No Immediate Plans' to Change Taunting Enforcement Despite Criticism

There has been significant blowback regarding the NFL's emphasis on taunting penalties this season, but the league believes the enforcement has been "going as planned," according to Mark Maske of the Washington Post.

"The NFL has no immediate plans to have its competition committee intervene to modify enforcement of the rule, according to three people familiar with the situation," Maske reported.

The league believes the players will adjust to the new policy.

There have been 11 taunting calls through two weeks of the 2021 season, including eight in Week 2, per Kevin Seifert of ESPN.
