To a referee, sure, but not to another player unless they are in someone else's face and screaming.
As already posted, players talk trash all game long, and in this case Ryan had jawed at Jones first. That referee was out of line to take over the game. But the Chiefs were bad today on offense and managed to lose to a bad team.
Well, guess we won't get to hear what was said on mic'd up.
College football was so refreshing yesterday when they let the boys tussle here and there without yellow hankies flying all over the place. C'mon NFL, stop asking the players to go 100% for 5 or 10 seconds and then revert to perfect gentlemen a second later, and repeat this cycle all game long.

“I can’t recall” is hardly synonymous with “without precedent.” Yeah. It happens.
