There isn’t officially a flopping penalty in the NFL rulebook. However, penalties for flops have been called before under the definition of unsportsmanlike conduct.

Fans, pundits and even current players could not believe the penalty awarded in Patrick Mahomes’ favor against the Texans on Saturday.

If you watch a lot of NFL broadcasts like I do, you’ve probably noticed there’s a certain way broadcasters usually talk about the referees. They rarely criticize them directly, even when they seem wrong.
