Well to be fair, the Calvin Johnson rule was first and most famously enforced against the Lions. Now that the "no hanky panky" rule has done its' job and lost a game for Detroit it can hopefully be put out to pasture.

I would like to point out that technically Schwartz threw the challenge flag before the touchdown was scored so he did not throw the flag after a scoring a play. He threw it during a scoring play.

Unintended consequences are a hoot! The NFL is getting very close to jumping the shark.
