Knucklehead Play of the Day?

[Auggie]

49ers CB Dontae Johnson recovered a blocked Chicago punt in the second quarter and was able to run it to the Bears four yard line before stepping out-of-bounds.

Thinking he had scored a TD, he made a snow angel in the end zone ... and was flagged 15 yards for unnecessary celebration.

Instead of starting the turnover with a first and goal at the four, the 49ers offense were backed to the 19 yard line and had to attempt a field goal, in a snowstorm, three plays later.

If you have a better one, post it below.

I would've loved to see the snow angel.

2. I just saw Gabbert sacked in the end zone

Filling in for a benched Kaepernick. Tough season for the 49ers.

3. Management's ego caught up with them

4. Not NFL, But NBA

Javelle McGee of the Warriors rebounded a missed free throw and stepped out of bounds as if he were inbounding. It was like he thought the shot was made. Except he's the one who rebounded it!
I think that's pretty close, Auggie.

5. CORRECTION: The kucklehead was Rashard Robinson ...

and he was flagged for making the second snow angel. The individual celebration by Johnson is allowed, but when he was joined by Robinson it was deemed unnecessary.

NFL rules like this are excessively nuts, but Robinson still should have been warned/coached about it.

6. OK. Because I saw a Packer make a snow angel after a TD

and nothing was called.

The arbitrary lines the refs draw about celebrations is bizarre, to say the least.

7. I notice they call celebration penalties

A lot less than they did early in the season. First few weeks they threw a lot of flags
