It was starting to get chirpy, and I think this was a good T to settle everyone down.

Why did Ellis (Cin) get away with all that instigating? What Harrison (Ken) did isn't right, but how can the officials ignore the fact that Ellis was the root of the problem (at least here, as I don't know what happened before this sequence)?

Officials should have had a quick trigger on Ellis, IMO. He had just been tossed from the previous game for a FF2.

This is a great example of how "talking" to the players doesn't always work. We (including myself here) think we can talk to players and get things settled down in these types of situations. Most of the time that works great...but when dealing with known knuckleheads, maybe talking isn't the best way to handle things. If Ellis gets a DB Contact T in the first play, the second probably never happens.

Ellis is some of the most problematic baggage I've seen a coach have to deal with in a long time. To be humbled by the FF2 he had 2 days before and then come back as if nothing had happened....and act with the same shenanigans? Holy smokes.

Tells me he may not have really been as "humbled" as he tried to appear.

Agreed. The Cincy player was the troublemaker here and got away with a lot of instigating.
