Video: Jackson’s big catch wiped out after flipping ball at coach
By Chris Chase
They don't call him MeSean Jackson for nothing.
One week after getting benched for missing a team meeting, Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson had a 50-yard catch wiped out because he flipped the ball at a New York Giants coach in celebration after the play and preened to the sideline. Jackson was flagged for an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty and the down was replayed.
Jackson was stupid, but he was also the victim of some bad luck. Ordinarily, his 50-yard catch would have stood and the 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty would have been assessed after the play. (Making for a net gain of 35 yards.) But because the Giants committed a penalty, the fouls offset and the down was replayed. In essence, the Giants benefitted from their own penalty.
