The Philadelphia Eagles’ inability to play two good halves of football in the same game finally cost them, as they suffered a crushing loss to the Denver Broncos on Sunday. However, social media thinks the latter got a huge assist from the refs in order to secure the 21-17 win.
Philly blew a 14-point fourth-quarter lead that saw them lose their first game of the season, with Denver beating them at home for the first time since 1986, also handing them an L in their first game since the A.J. Brown drama.
The Eagles would have been able to win the game with a last-gasp touchdown and nearly did so. Dallas Goedert, who scored one of their two TDs on the day, looked like he was pulled to the ground by a Broncos defender in the final seconds.
A pass interference call would have set them up for a game-winning touchdown, but the refs kept their flags.
“HOW WAS THIS NOT A PASS INTERFERENCE?? THE EAGLES GOT SCREWED BY THE REFS. WHAT IN THE WORLD…” Dov Kleiman shared.
“REFS SCREW PHILLY🚨,” MLFootball posted.
“Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert GOT PULLED DOWN by a #Broncos defender near the goal line, and the refs did not throw a flag somehow. This would’ve set up for Philadelphia to score the game-winning touchdown.
“THE REFS. AWFUL.
“LOL! NFL is more rigged than Pro Wrestling. 🤣🤣🤣,” one fan laughed.
“The ref is standing right there and he sees the clearly obvious pass interference and refused to call it. He must be investigated,” another said.
Philly still had an opportunity to win it on the last play, but Brown and DeVonta Smith appeared to get in each other’s way as they both went up for what would have been a victory-sealing catch.
The Eagles are now 4-1 after their first home loss in 13 outings. They will play their NFC East rivals, the New York Giants, this coming Thursday.
