This referee doesn’t throw the flag when the “penalty” happens, he throws it AFTER he realizes the pass will fall incomplete.
#Chiefs complete their *league-leading* 15th (!!) game with less penalties than their opponent, since 2022.
It is so obvious
Kyle Shanahan to the official after George Kittle’s catch was called back:
“Hey, I saw the hold, but that’s what they do every time. They hold, they tug our guy til Pat leaves & then they let go. That’s what our guy did, make sure they call it both ways.”
That shit fell on deaf ears
Let’s compare résumés of two CBPOY candidates-
Flacco:
-Coming back from nothing. Literally just being bad.
-5 games played
-1616 yards
-13 TDs
-8 INT
-4 fumbles
Breece Hall:
-Coming back from an ACL tear in less than 11 months
-17 GP
-1,585 scrimmage yards (4th in NFL, 2nd in AFC)
-9 TD (41% of team’s TDs)
-4.5 YPC despite bottom 3 OL and worst passing offense in NFL
One of these guys won the award, the other wasn’t nominated. Genuine travesty, mockery of the award.
The UDFA rookie WR returning a punt in OT to win the home opener on 9/11 against a division rival after their newly acquired HOF QB went down was definitely a better moment
Check out the right tackle for KC hold #50 on this TD. The NFL should do what MLB does for the playoffs & have more refs on the field for big games. Plays like this should not be missed.
