Former NFL All-Pro cornerback Richard Sherman wasted no time ripping on the officials during the Buffalo Bills-New York Jets “Monday Night Football” game.
Richard Sherman, like the fans watching the game, was fed up with the ridiculous amount of penalty calls in the Jets-Bills contest. If you watched the ESPN broadcast, you heard Troy Aikman constantly voicing his displeasure as well.
The Bills were penalized 11 times for 94 yards, and the Jets committed as many infractions for 110 yards. When you call that many penalties in one contest, many of them will surely come under fire as controversial calls.
Throughout the Monday night contest, Richard Sherman ripped on the officials in a series of X/Twitter posts:
Two of the most highly-scrutinized calls were “roughing the passer” calls that Aaron Rodgers and Josh Allen both drew. You be the judge on these two:
Richard Sherman is a future Hall of Famer who was in the conversation as the NFL’s best cornerback from 2012 to 2016, so he certainly knows a thing or two about pass interference and defensive holding calls.
Unfortunately, the Week 6 Monday nighter was just another case of the NFL referees being a top storyline. Not Rodgers’ Hail Mary to close out the first half. Not Josh Allen’s heroics. Not Buffalo’s clutch win to avoid a three-game losing streak.
Another week of NFL action, another week of head-scratching and game-changing calls around the league. The more that stays the same.
Richard Sherman Summed It Up All Too Well
Referees will never get judgment calls like pass interference, holding (offensive or defensive), and roughing the passer correctly 100 percent of the time. All the fans ask for is consistency in applying the rules, and the refs did not do that.
Sherman said what many fans were feeling about the work of head official Adrian Hill and his crew. But as always, the NFL will probably ignore the backlash and do nothing to try and improve its officiating.
