Everyone keeps talking about the holding near the end zone on 4th down. I think it was the right call. But even if you don't like that call there was pass interference after it by 26 I think. He played through the receiver just before the ball got there. So if you don't like the hold call there still was a foul on the play.

As for why Scott was not ejected and why the NFL doesn't have automatic ejection criteria, I think it is because of the limited team size. The NFL ejects players for fighting but for just talking back there was no harm to the other team. Fighting means you get to sit and get a fine. Talking back may get you a fine but doesn't also cost your team one of its limited number of players. To have a starter ejected may affect the outcome of the game. The NFL is more than happy to deal with players Tuesday morning.
