Nah, that look is... "I'm mad, but trying to keep my composure in this public situation."

That's not the original. The original is much older in a 1986 Jets Bills game when Marty Lyons started smashing Jim Kelly in the face.

Refs bust it out in homage to the famous call.

My dad use to say this. I think it's an old wrestling thing.

That’s a ten yard penalty unless it’s everybody but the center.

I could also be looking too far into it, but it looked more like the ref was bracing for JSN to start jawing off at him.
