I was wondering if GIVE HIM THE BUSINESS is really a penalty in American football as we CALL it. Or was it just 1stly called by Ben. I searched online for this, some people say in the rulebook and some say it's just to emphasize the foul...

It simply means that he was taunting or trash talking the player he tackled. It's unsporting and is a foul.
