If I'm not mistaken, the NFL instituted a new rules this year prohibiting players from going to their knees after a touch down. I have no idea what the logic is behind it, but it would appear the the referee had no choice.
Just conjecture on my part, but maybe it had something to do with Tebowing. Perhaps some people were offended by people making fun of a devout Christian.
Christians kneeling will be dealt with the same way.
