Referees make another controversial roughing the passer penalty call during Monday's night's Raiders-Chiefs game.
Falcons defender Grady Jarrett pulled Brady to the ground in what many believed was a routine tackle, before referees penalized him for the play.
Earlier in the Raiders-Chiefs game, Raiders edge rusher Maxx Crosby got a sack on Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes to end Kansas City’s first drive, followed on the next play by Chiefs defensive end Frank Clark sacking Raiders quarterback Derek Carr in the first quarter. The similarity in both plays: Neither quarterback was brought to the ground. Instead, both were wrapped up and hugged by the defender. And the play was called dead.Well, not new, necessarily. It’s been a rule or custom for referees to call a play dead when any player is wrapped up without making forward progress.
The sequence in this game showed defenders are paying attention and don’t want to incur senseless penalties to give offenses the upper hand. But sequences like Carr’s penalty shows the NFL has plenty of future conversations on its hands to prevent referees from turning traditional rulings players and coaches and fans have become accustomed to into controversial calls that can swing the pendulum during games.
