NFL under Fire: Referees Facing Increased Scrutiny for Controversial Calls

The NFL is increasingly under scrutiny because of its referees. Week 7 of the NFL It left controversial decisions on the part of the referees that ended up dictating the course towards a particular team. At least that’s what they believe in Indianapolis, Los Angeles and Miami.

Controversial marking during the last drive of the Cleveland Browns left the scene ready for running back Kareem Hunt to score the touchdown that ended up giving the victory to those led by Kevin Stefanski.

“The Colts were robbed. Thank you NFL officials” was the brief message left through his ‘X’ account by Pat McAfee, the former Indianapolis Colts punter, and who currently has one of the most famous podcasts about the league.

NFL punishes coaches

Just a few weeks ago, New York Jets coach Robert Saleh showed his dissatisfaction with league officials for his marking in the game in which the New Yorkers lost to Patrick Mahomes’ Kansas City Chiefs.

“I still sit here looking at our record and saying God, there are a couple of situations where we could have possibly been 4-2 and if the ball bounces our way or we get a correct call from the officials, it could be 5-1.” Saleh said indirectly after the victory they obtained last week against Philadelphia.

However, many coaches are hesitant to speak out because they risk a fine from the league. According to the regulations, a verbal infraction against a referee is more than 24 thousand dollars.
