It was the right call on a great rule.
You could argue whether it should have been called, but how can you consider this a great rule? Seriously. Taunting should never be more than a dead ball foul applicable to the next play.
Not only is it not a great rule, but it is probably the dumbest rule in all of competitive sports.

Great rule in the enforces sportsmanlike behavior. Caoches need to teach their players to be classy and not do the Deon High Step or the Mark Gastineau sack dance. Wing's infraction was puny, if that

I couldnt agree more, who in the hell takes a score away for taunting??? Not even the No Fun League does this.

It wasn't a dead ball penalty. The infraction took place during live play.
The following excerpt shows the class of Wing and Miles:
"I do think there's a large amount of disrespect in taunting and that's not what I'm about," Wing said Monday. "I've never been anywhere near an end zone before. I was so excited and the emotion got the better of me ... and I made a silly mistake."
"If I'm the official, I'm making that exact call," Miles said Monday. "How would you feel if that was your son playing for the opponent when that guy decides to taunt you? In reality, when you look at what Brad Wing did, I don't know if it was more joy than taunting and I'm not certain it was flagrant in any way, but that being said, when you're an official and you have to make the call ... I think he threw the flag at the right time."
Wing said he understands the logic behind the rule and does not blame the official for throwing the flag.
"It is a rule, so we have to abide by it and I did clearly break it," Wing said.
