Celebrating while a player is still on the ground in need of attention is classless. Unfortunately it is something that happened on both sides of the ball (like Burfict's hit on Ben for an example as he celebrated what was an excellent play).
This. I felt the same way. I didn't think he was rejoicing that another player was down, but I also didn't like that he was so demonstrative while he was.
Here's the thing - those two plays resulted in good things for the celebrating players' teams. If they had been penalized, a celebration would clearly have only been for the injury. But they weren't, so it's a little murkier. Doesn't make it right, but it makes it harder to prove that they actually celebrated injury.
