Richard Sherman Appears To Accuse NFL Refs Of Rigging MNF Game For The Buffalo Bills

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.
