Panthers TE Tommy Tremble: I taunted Cooper DeJean because of his "egregious" hit on teammate

During Sunday's matchup, Carolina tight end Tommy Tremble celebrated his second touchdown by directing a gesture at Philadelphia defensive back Cooper DeJean, resulting in a penalty for taunting. The reaction followed an incident on the prior play where DeJean received a personal foul for violently tackling fellow Carolina tight end Mitchell Evans.

Following the conclusion of the contest, Tremble stated that he felt the earlier infraction was excessive and unnecessary, though he acknowledged that his own retaliation was improper. Despite the resulting fifteen-yard penalty and an anticipated fine from the league, Carolina secured a 25-14 victory.
