In the world of just plain dumb football stunts. This rates right up at the top! Why try and stick your shoulder into the competing QB when he runs out of bounds and you are a sideline player? It’s not like every Camera and several referees eyes are on the ball carrying QB.
The Redblacks went on to score points in that same drive after Henry’s penalty. In a game like this when every point counts.
If I was the Riders HC or GM I would sit Henry a game. Let him stew in his own ridiculousness.
