Watching the play in realtime from the sideline view, one of the Jags coaches was right there saying something to Washington or the ref and motioning incomplete at the same time. Not condoning it at all but I don't think what Washington did was "unsportsmanlike" per se. Dumb, yes, but I don't think it deserved 15 yards. If he had done it to a player on the field than I would say yes but he didn't. Harrison's call was obviously totally bunk and hopefully the ref will get fined for that stupid call. The call on the late hit of Matt Jones was close, imo. If that ball wasn't tipped, it would have hit Jones in the side of the head. At that speed of the game and knowing he was going to dish out some pain, Clark most likely had his head down and eyes probably closed just before impact. I don't think he could have stopped if he wanted to. That was probably the closest to a real personal foul and really could have went either way. The Jags deserved theirs from what I saw. On a couple plays, they were "blocking/hitting" well after the whistle. The one taunting play was just that, taunting. I am sure the ump heard something to go along with the DB standing over Nate Washington for several seconds. Oh well, we got out with a win and I'll take any win over the Jags. Ben caused 2 of the 3 sacks I think by holding on to the ball too long instead of just throwing it away. And, his INT should probably go to Holmes since he stumbled on the timing route. If he didn't stumble, that was a 18 yd gain.
