Though I can sort of see the need for this kind of rule... nullifying the touchdown seems a little extreme for a penalty.

I think a 20 yard penalty on the next kickoff would have been adequate

Besides, how can anyone on the team which was handed the victory by an official feel any sense of accomplishment? They clearly lost the game on the playing field to a superior (that day) team.

Personally I see no problem with a celebration after a score but think the anti taunting rule is appropriate.

It’s a hollow victory to be sure.
