Mike Golic goes on rant about Matthews penalty


This Clay Matthews penalty that cost the Green Bay Packers a win over the Minnesota Vikings is the talk of the NFL world on Monday, with the linebacker getting a yellow hankie for allegedly driving his body weight into Kirk Cousins.

ESPN's Mike Golic had some angry thought during Monday's Golic & Wingo, and there are probably countless NFL fans nodding along with this one:

"I don't know what to tell these guys anymore. I don't know what to tell them in the split-second they're tackling a quarterback, there's one thing to driving a quarterback, but it's a lot better when the quarterback's going down. And if you have to suck them in a little bit to get them to fall down, then so be it. Because if you don't, they can still throw the damn ball. … What do you want them to do? I really want to know, NFL. What the hell do you want them to do in that split second?"
