Players left and right are getting fined for taunting more than any other season. As <a href="https://www.theringer.com/nfl/2021/11/10/22774287/five-worst-taunting-penalties-referees-cassius-marsh">The Ringer noted</a>, there were only 19 taunting calls in the NFL in the last two seasons. Up until Week 9, there have been 27 such calls. TWENTY. SEVEN.</p><p>The most recent victim of the harsh NFL taunting rule was Kansas City Chiefs running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire. In their big Week 11 win over the Dallas Cowboys, Edwards-Helaire pointed at Cowboys linebacker Luke Gifford. Clearly, the referees thought that severe emotional harm was done to Gifford, as they issued him a taunting penalty and <a href="https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/chiefs-clyde-edwards-helaire-fined-10-3k-for-pointing-at-cowboys-player-during-touchdown-run-per-report/">a fine of roughly $10 thousand</a>.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Clyde Edwards-Helaire was called for taunting because he pointed at <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Cowboys?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank">#Cowboys</a> LB Luke Gifford.</p><p>Not sure how Gifford will recover from that. <a href="https://t.co/80QCqNJg5b" target="_blank">pic.twitter.com/80QCqNJg5b</a></p><p>— Ari Meirov (@MySportsUpdate) <a href="https://twitter.com/MySportsUpdate/status/1462544047365623809?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank">November 21, 2021</a></p></blockquote><p></p></figure><p>While this one is an obvious taunting call, some of the taunting calls in the NFL that have been made are… questionable at best. The most egregious call happened during Monday Night Football, when Bears linebacker Cassius Marsh was called for taunting after… this horrible act he did.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Cassius Marsh called for… taunting…. <a href="https://t.co/OZ0jkCqWOp" target="_blank">pic.twitter.com/OZ0jkCqWOp</a></p><p>— Justin (@hobokenjustin) <a href="https://twitter.com/hobokenjustin/status/1457922825247932418?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank">November 9, 2021</a></p></blockquote><p></p></figure><p>Yes, you saw correctly my friend. Marsh got called for taunting, after he stared down the air and bumped into an official accidentally. The NFL <a href="https://operations.nfl.com/media/5427/2021-nfl-rulebook.pdf">rulebook</a> states that a taunting penalty is issued when there is:</p><blockquote>“The use of baiting or taunting acts or words that engender ill will between teams.”</blockquote><p>Fair enough. It’s not only the NFL that has taunting rules enforced. For example, the NBA also has a strict taunting rule that they implement. It’s why players like Dikembe Mutombo and Serge Ibaka have had to do their finger wag motions to the crowd. LeBron James also got issued for taunting after he stared down Jason Terry on this play.</p><figure class="op-interactive"></figure><p>However, the NFL’s implementation of taunting has been… wonky at best. There have been some legitimate arguments for a taunt (the Clyde Edwards-Helaire taunting might be the most correct call this season), but there have been plenty of questionable taunting calls that have changed the game. Case in point: this Elijhaa Penny taunting call.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">This was called for taunting 🤦‍♂️ <br><a href="https://t.co/FHVLsndbPU" target="_blank">pic.twitter.com/FHVLsndbPU</a></p><p>— PFF (@PFF) <a href="https://twitter.com/PFF/status/1455369511549419521?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank">November 2, 2021</a></p></blockquote><p></p></figure><p>Clearly, Penny wasn’t taunting any Kansas City player. He was only pointing downfield, as most receivers do after making a first down. However, since Penny accidentally pointed at an opposing player, referees decided to throw him a taunting flag. The motion clearly wasn’t meant to taunt a player, though…</p><p>The justification for these rules, according to the coaches, is simple: they want to be a role model. Here’s Bears coach Matt Nagy’s <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/bears-news-matt-nagy-gets-real-about-importance-of-taunting-rule-amid-cassius-marsh-fine/">take on the taunting rules</a> days after his linebacker Marsh was issued a fine:</p><blockquote>“People watch, and people want to see a little bit of respect and a little bit of doing things the right way. It doesn’t mean you can’t have fun, but there’s young kids right now that are watching games… I’m a firm believer in respect and just kids growing and watching and we have a huge platform as leaders. Players and coaches. Let’s understand what the rules are, let’d do it the right way.”</blockquote><p>Which, fair enough. You do have to set a good example for the kids watching. However, if you’re going to implement these rules… at least do it properly, man. The way the NFL is implementing their taunting rule right now takes away the fun of watching the sport, and influences games way too much.</p><p>Hopefully, the NFL starts to ease their implementation on taunting rules. Because if this keeps up, they may never be able to shed their “No Fun League” moniker.</p><p> </p><p> </p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

With that said, he wants everyone to show what they got when they play the Las Vegas Raiders on Thursday.</p><blockquote>“We talked about responding and somebody’s got to obviously pay for that,” Prescott said, per <a href="https://twitter.com/WerderEdESPN/status/1463595226061320194" rel="noopener">Ed Werder of ESPN</a>. “So we just got to go out there in this game and show how physical we can be.”</blockquote><p>The Cowboys struggled offensively against the Chiefs, putting up just nine points as Dak Prescott himself failed to throw for a touchdown. Dallas linebacker and pass rusher Micah Parsons <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/cowboys-news-micah-parsons-stern-reminder-after-loss-to-chiefs-should-scare-the-nfl/" rel="noopener">did step up with his 2.0 sacks and multiple quarterback hurries</a>, but he was the lone bright spot for a rather pedestrian showing from America’s Team.</p><p>Prescott does have a point that the Cowboys need to respond when being challenged physically. Against the Chiefs, they simply let the opponents trample them without putting up a fight.</p><p>With Amari Cooper out and CeeDee Lamb questionable, Prescott and the Cowboys need to start and finish strong in the game against the Raiders if they want any chance at winning. They simply cannot relax and let the opponents have their way, especially with the roster missing some of its best weapons.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Despite a quiet day from their high-powered offense, the Chiefs were able to pull out a much-needed victory while going toe-to-toe with a streaking Cowboys team that had been firing on all cylinders over the past few weeks.</p><p>With a surprisingly dominant performance from one of the league’s most overlooked defensive units, there’s no doubt that this was a statement win for Kansas City. As they aim to stay on the winning track and return to championship form, we now take a look at the two biggest takeaways from the Chiefs Week 11 win over the Cowboys that was led by their tough-minded defense.</p><h2><b>Chiefs Week 11 Takeaways</b></h2><p><b>The Chiefs defense is a resilient bunch </b></p><p>After a sub par performance from one of the league’s most dynamic offensive units, the Chiefs needed their defense to step up and help them get the W. In a decisive game when they couldn’t get anything going on offense, the Chiefs rose to the occasion and prevailed with a strong defensive showing. This was just what Kansas City needed to triumph and come away with their third straight victory to advance to 7-4 on the year and take back first place in the AFC West.</p><p>With strong performances from Charvarius Ward, L’Jarius Sneed, and Chris Jones, the Chiefs were able to lockdown the high-flying Cowboys offense and put an end to their recent hot streak. Under the guidance of defensive super genius Steve Spagnuolo, the Chiefs displayed a well-balanced and potent attack that proved to be all too much for Dallas. If the Chiefs want to build on their recent success then they’ll need to get more production from the defensive side of the ball.</p><p><b>Kansas City have learned to improvise their game plan</b></p><p>When things weren’t going their way on offense, Kansas City was able to keep their cool and duke it out with a deep and talented Cowboys squad that was gunning for a statement win on the road. From the streaky play of the Chiefs offense to their defensive grudge match with the Cowboys, the Chiefs showed their ability to make the proper adjustments and pull through with the game on the line.</p><p>In the midst of a wildly inconsistent season, the Chiefs have learned that they’ve needed to tweak their game plan and improvise in crunch time scenarios. Over the course of the past several weeks it’s become quite apparent that the Chiefs old strategy had been figured out and wasn’t nearly as effective as it had been during their previous title runs.</p><p>With a new and improved game plan, the Chiefs have come to the realization that learning to make adjustments on the go is exactly what it will take for them to reach new heights and bring another Super Bowl title back to Arrowhead stadium in 2022. As they continuously work to figure things out and get back to playing a winning brand of football, the Chiefs have learned to adapt in the moment and have shown that they can weed out a hard-fought victory regardless of the conditions.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

On Friday, it was announced the Pro Bowl wide receiver Amari Cooper would miss the next two games after contracting COVID-19. But hey, they have CeeDee Lamb and Michael Gallup had just come back from injury. No problem, right? Wrong.</p><p>The first few possessions, Kansas City doubled Lamb on almost all of his routes. That forced Gallup and fellow receiver Cedrick Wilson to try and win one on one. Neither were able to gain any separation. Ezekiel Elliot could not get anything going on the ground and the Cowboys fell into an early 16-3 hole.</p><p>Shortly before halftime, CeeDee Lamb banged his head off the ground and received a concussion. He left the game and did not return.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb (head) will not return vs. Chiefs <a href="https://t.co/oZGIB82c58" target="_blank">https://t.co/oZGIB82c58</a> <a href="https://t.co/15CnZdA71g" target="_blank">pic.twitter.com/15CnZdA71g</a></p><p>— Reuters (@Reuters) <a href="https://twitter.com/Reuters/status/1462591696018026496?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank">November 22, 2021</a></p></blockquote><p></p></figure><p>Lamb has since entered the league’s concussion protocol. He very likely could miss the Cowboys next game, which is Thursday in their annual Thanksgiving Day game. So, it appears Dallas will be without both Cooper and Lamb for that game.</p><p>As we saw Sunday, when Prescott does not have either of those two receivers on the field, there is very little room for him to deliver the ball. Gallup and Wilson simply are not close to the same level players as those two.</p><p>Also in the first half, All Pro running back Ezekiel Elliot rolled up on his ankle while being tackled out of bounds. He missed a few series and although he returned to the game, he never looked explosive upon his re-entry.</p><p>All Pro left tackle Tyron Smith still can’t seem to get past his ankle injury. Demarcus Lawrence, Randy Gregory and Neville Gallimore are all still trying to work their way off of injured reserve. The injuries are piling up for the Cowboys.</p><p>With Sunday’s loss, combined with the Philadelphia Eagles win over the New Orleans Saints, even the NFC East is not entirely a lock. I am not silly enough to argue that the Cowboys are not still the prohibited favorites in the division. They are 2.5 games ahead of the Eagles and have already beaten them once.</p><p>But these are the Eagles next five games in order: Giants, Jets, Washington, Giants, Washington.</p><p>They could very easily go 4-1 during that stretch. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/eagles-news-jalen-hurts-joins-elite-company-after-win-vs-broncos/" rel="noopener">If Jalen Hurts continues to play the way he has lately</a>, it could get tighter than Cowboys fans would like.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">JALEN HURTS.</p><p>3 rushing TDs on the day! <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/FlyEaglesFly?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank">#FlyEaglesFly</a></p><p>📺: <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/NOvsPHI?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank">#NOvsPHI</a> on FOX<br>📱: NFL app <a href="https://t.co/jLi51cKEI4" target="_blank">pic.twitter.com/jLi51cKEI4</a></p><p>— NFL (@NFL) <a href="https://twitter.com/NFL/status/1462527940118269956?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank">November 21, 2021</a></p></blockquote><p></p></figure><p>It stands to reason that without their top two wide receivers vs the Las Vegas Raiders Thursday, they could struggle to score again and drop that game. The final game of the season sees the Cowboys playing in Philadelphia. It may not be likely, but knowing it’s the Cowboys, that scenario is not entirely out of the question.</p><p>On the bright side, the Cowboys defense appears to be for real. The offense sputtered Sunday with only 276 yards of offense. But the flip side is they held the Chiefs offense in check. They picked off Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, sacked him three times and forced a fumble that the Cowboys recovered.</p><p>Tyreek Hill and Travis Kelce had decent days, but nothing to write home about. They forced Mahomes to look uncomfortable in the pocket all day. Despite the offense failing to move the ball, the defense kept them in the game throughout. Every time it looked like the Chiefs would blow the game open, the Cowboys defense stepped up. It was very impressive.</p><p>Following the Thanksgiving Day game vs the Raiders, Dallas will travel to New Orleans to face off against the suddenly free-falling Saints. The schedule gets lighter after that, with two games against the Washington Football Team sandwiched around a game against the rival New York Giants.</p><p>That sets up what could be the most important game of the season. In Week 17, the Cowboys host the Arizona Cardinals in what could be the game for the only first round bye at stake. But in order for that to happen, they need to get healthy, and take care of business.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The once-vaunted defense found their form once again, harassing Dak Prescott and the Cowboys to only nine points and no touchdown score. While onlookers may be shocked with this performance, Chiefs star quarterback Patrick Mahomes <a href="https://twitter.com/PatrickMahomes/status/1462632911329497092">certainly wasn’t</a>.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Whole defense went crazy!

Yet, the Chiefs defense dominated them in every facet. Ezekiel Elliot was held to 32 yards rushing.

The Chiefs struggled on 3rd down as well. They were also flagged for a couple more personal foul penalties. So, it was far from a clean game for Kansas City.</p><p>Nevertheless, the Chiefs played far from a perfect game and Andy Reid seems like he is aware of that and is preaching exactly what he should.</p><p> </p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

In fact, he is keeping a positive mindset since he knows what they are capable of.</p><p>Prescott and Co. suffered a huge <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/scores/nfl/2a44750b-c27c-41cf-ab4d-b45bb965d12b/dallas-cowboys-kansas-city-chiefs-11-22-2021" rel="noopener">19-9 defeat</a> to the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 11 on Sunday, putting their <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/sports/nfl/standings" rel="noopener">record at 7-3</a>. Dak was unable to make his presence felt in the game, failing to throw for a touchdown while getting intercepted twice.</p><p>Despite the Cowboys’ uncharacteristic showing, Prescott shared that they won’t be discouraged by the slight setback. He, of all people, knows how “resilient” they are, and based on what they have shown so far and how they played, they will bounce back sooner rather than later.</p><blockquote>“This is a resilient team that is going to continue to fight. I’ll promise you that. … There are no worries or discouragement about what our future holds,” Prescott said, per <a href="https://twitter.com/jonmachota/status/1462587104555319296" rel="noopener">Jon Machota of The Athletic</a>.</blockquote><p>For what it’s worth, Dak Prescott is not lying when he promised they will continue to fight and said they have no worries. After all, they have already proven they can respond when the going gets tough.</p><p>To recall in Week 9 against the Denver Broncos, America’s Team succumbed 30-16. While it initially raised fears of another disappointing Cowboys crash, Mike McCarthy’s men bounced back with a 43-3 destruction of the Atlanta Falcons in Week 10.</p><p>The loss in Week 11 could well be another catalyst that drives the Cowboys to a big win. Of course, they can’t always play like that since Dallas needs to take the winnable games, but with adversity, the team becomes an even better squad.</p><p>Hopefully, Prescott and the rest of the squad show up once again when they play the Las Vegas Raiders for Thursday Night Football in Week 12.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Leading up to kickoff, however, there was some concern as to the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/chiefs-news-kc-provides-vital-clyde-edwards-helaire-injury-update-for-week-11/">availability of a few key players</a>.</p><p>Well, the Chiefs were dealt a hand of good luck, it seems. According to <a href="https://twitter.com/KCChiefs_Matt/status/1462511285816512521">Chiefs’ insider Matt McMullen</a>, both star running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire and defensive leader Tyrann Mathieu have been activated for the Week 11 showdown.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Here are the Chiefs’ inactives for today’s game against Dallas:</p><p>QB Shane Buechele<br>CB DeAndre Baker<br>RB Derrick Gore<br>OL Lucas Niang<br>DT Khalen Saunders</p><p>— Matt McMullen (@KCChiefs_Matt) <a href="https://twitter.com/KCChiefs_Matt/status/1462511285816512521?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank">November 21, 2021</a></p></blockquote><p></p></figure><p>The Chiefs’ list of inactive players includes Shane Buechele, DeAndre Baker, Derrick Gore, Lucas Niang, and Khalen Saunders.</p><p>Mathieu was a late addition to the team’s injury report, having been added on Sunday morning. Fortunately, the apparent knee injury that was plaguing the 29-year-old won’t be enough to keep him off the field. Mathieu has two interceptions this year and has featured in each of the Chiefs’ past nine games.</p><p>Edwards-Helaire, on the other hand, had been sidelined since he sustained an MCL injury in Week 5 against the Buffalo Bills. On the season, the 22-year-old has 304 rushing yards but has yet to find the end zone via the ground. Fellow running backs Darrell Williams and Derrick Gore picked up the slack while the LSU product was on the shelf, but after more than a month out of commission, it looks like Edwards-Helaire is finally ready to return.</p><p>This is a major boost for the Chiefs, whose secondary would have been in peril had Mathieu been ruled out for the game. The extra support against the Dak Prescott-led Cowboys offense will give the team more confidence, while simultaneously eliminating the need for KC to rely too heavily upon Daniel Sorensen, who has struggled this season.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

KC will need its defense to step up against the potent Dallas Cowboys’ offense in Week 11 if Andy Reid and Co. want to avoid losing their fifth game of the season.</p><p>Unfortunately, things may just have gotten more difficult for the defensive unit, who may have to take the field Sunday without one of its leaders and most important players.</p><p>According to <a href="https://twitter.com/NFL_DovKleiman/status/1462489012447420427">independent NFL reporter Dov Kleiman</a>, star safety Tyrann Mathieu was added to the injury report and is considered questionable for Sunday’s showdown with the Cowboys.

A matchup with the Cowboys, who boast the league’s highest-scoring offense (31.6 points per game), was always going to be a struggle. But with Mathieu potentially unavailable, the already frail secondary is looking even more vulnerable.</p><p>If Mathieu isn’t able to suit up, the team may look to Daniel Sorensen to fill the gap at safety, especially considering Armani Watts is also dealing with an injury of his own. Neither presents much case for optimism from Chiefs fans, who will surely be hoping down to the wire that Mathieu’s knee won’t keep him out of action.</p><p>Mathieu has played in nine of the Chiefs’ 10 games this season, having missed the season-opener against the Browns due to an illness. The three-time Pro Bowl safety has two interceptions, five pass defenses, and 46 tackles in 2021.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

They say that they have spent more time <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl-odds-cowboys-chiefs-week-11-odds-prediction-pick-and-more/">preparing</a> for this Cowboys offense than any other team they have in the past.</p><p>This will be a great test for the Chiefs as they want to continue to show that they are one of the best teams in football.

The running back sustained an MCL sprain (knee) in the third quarter and was put on injured reserve shortly after.</p><p>If the second-year running back is activated to play for <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl-odds-cowboys-chiefs-week-11-odds-prediction-pick-and-more/">Sunday afternoon’s game against the Cowboys</a>, it would be a huge offensive advantage. The third year for Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes hasn’t been everything he and Andy Reid wanted. They finished 12-4 in the regular season the year they won the championship and 14-2 last season.</p><p>Kansas City has seemed to take a little more control over their season recently with a three game winning streak. However, Dak Prescott and the Cowboys are a force to be reckoned with as number one in the NFC East. Having a health Edwards-Helaire in the lineup Sunday would recreate great offensive opportunities for the Chiefs to extend their winning streak.</p><p>The running back has picked up 304 rushing yards on 65 attempts in just five games so far this season. He has also recorded 10 first downs for the Chiefs. Being able to force first downs and carry the ball down the field is going to be a major factor in the Chiefs game Sunday afternoon.</p><p> </p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
