Football fans were complaining about the NFL refs early and often during the Kansas City Chiefs-Baltimore Ravens Kickoff Game on Thursday night.
It wouldn’t be the typical start of football season without the NFL refs stealing the show right off the bat. And that’s what happened in the first quarter of the season opener at Arrowhead Stadium.
The officials threw four flags on the Ravens’ opening drive, including three illegal formation penalties against Baltimore’s offensive line. The third infraction wiped out a Jaylen Watson defensive pass interference penalty against Baltimore wideout Zay Flowers.
Even though the four penalty calls were clearly infractions, fans have already gotten fed up with head official Shawn Hochuli and the NFL refs:
