Cowboys Lineman Penalized for Flopping After Hit

Dallas Cowboys offensive lineman Tyler Guyton received a penalty for unnecessary roughness during a game against the Las Vegas Raiders. The flag came after he fell to the ground dramatically following contact from Raiders defensive end Malcolm Koonce. Officials determined that Guyton's reaction was a flop, an act meant to deceive them into calling a penalty. The play resulted in a penalty against Guyton's own team. The incident highlights the league's ongoing efforts to penalize players for faking or exaggerating fouls.
