They played kinda dirty, go back and watch how our guys reacted after being on the bottom of the pile when they were on offense.
We've never had an over reaction issue before, so I 100% believe they were doing something to set them off. In one of Johnny's runs you can see the guy put his forearm across Johnny's neck and pushes down on it as he "attempts to get up" but doesn't actually go anywhere, Johnny pushes the guy off of him and gets in his face while the ref is just standing there the whole time.
Evans was flagged on a ticky tack call, but after his push/shove to the DB, the DB rared back with a balled up fist like he was going to hit him, I don't believe for a second that the DB intended on doing it but he wanted to elicit a response from the already hot Evans and didn't get the reaction he wanted.
