During Monday night’s latest edition of the ManningCast, Peyton and Eli Manning had some fun roasting a Green Bay Packers offensive lineman for a terrible flop.
On one of the sillier fouls you’ll see this season, Las Vegas Raiders defensive end Maxx Crosby got called for unsportsmanlike conduct for making contact with Packers offensive tackle Zach Tom.
Well, Tom embellished the contact to the extreme when he flopped on his front side to the ground before the flag was called.
It clearly wasn’t unsportsmanlike conduct, but the referees decided to call it anyway because of Tom’s theatrics. The Mannings didn’t let Tom off the hook for this one, pointing out exactly what had happened on the field.

The Mannings, like all of us at home, know a flop when they see one, and they certainly weren’t going to let this one slide.
The Packers might’ve gotten some yardage out of this, but they also got a lowlight rightfully called out by the ManningCast.
