NFL admits to Husain Abdullah penalty mistake

:Headline: NFL admits to Husain Abdullah penalty mistake: ID:179892: from db_amp
The NFL announces that the officials made a mistake in penalising Husain Abdullah during the Kansas City Chiefs' win over the New England Patriots on Monday night.

The NFL has conceded that Kansas City Chiefs star Husain Abdullah should not have received a 15-yard unsportsmanlike penalty after bowing in prayer after a touchdown.

Abdullah's celebration came during the 41-14 victory over the New England Patriots on Monday night, as he claimed a 39-yard interception return for a touchdown.

According to Rule 12, Section 3, Article 1 (d), "Players are prohibited from engaging in any celebrations or demonstrations while on the ground".

However, an NFL spokesman later released a statement insisting that Abdullah, a devout Muslim, should not have been penalised for a "religious expression".

Abdullah told reporters after the game that he thought he had received the penalty for the slide, with coach Andy Reid sharing his view.
