The NFL is reportedly deciding whether or not Aqib Talib will be suspended for his blatant face-mask penalty on Philly Brown in Super Bowl 50.

Brown says he doesn't think a suspension is necessary and that he's looking forward to a rematch when the Carolina Panthers travel to Denver next season.

Talib showed no remorse for the dangerous play after the game, admitting that his actions were intentional.

"(The face-mask penalty) I just did on purpose, and I just had to show him. It's probably going to be a fine, but, hey, we're world champs," Talib said, according to Brent Schrotenboer of USA Today.

Any sort of suspension would be the second such punishment for on-field actions this season. Talib was also handed a one-game ban in November for poking Indianapolis Colts tight end Dwayne Allen in the eye.
