In the first half of Super Bowl 50, Broncos cornerback Aqib Talib picked up a personal foul for throwing Panthers wide receiver Philly Brown to the ground by his facemask.

After the game, Talib said that he did it on purpose because he “just had to show [Brown]” after exchanging words with him earlier in the game and that he didn’t think it was a big deal since the Panthers gained just over a yard as a result of the foul occurring on the Broncos’ three-yard-line. The NFL may not agree as they’re considering suspending Talib, who was also suspended one game during the 2015 season for poking Colts tight end Dwayne Allen in the eye.

Brown said on Twitter Tuesday that he doesn’t want Talib to be suspended, especially if it would keep him out of the Panthers’ trip to Denver next season.

“I don’t think Talib should be suspended. I hope he plays when we travel to Denver next year. He was frustrated that’s what immature pros do!!” Brown wrote.

Panthers coach Ron Rivera didn’t offer an opinion about whether Talib should be suspended, but said, via the Charlotte Observer, he wished Talib wouldn’t have done it and said the cornerback’s admission “adds credence to the argument” NFL commissioner Roger Goodell made last week about ejecting players who commit two personal fouls in a game.
