Angry NFL fans think the referees “rigged” the Philadelphia Eagles-Detroit Lions ‘Sunday Night Football’ game after A.J. Brown drew a weak penalty call that essentially sealed the deal for the home team.
Trailing 16-9 with 1:51 remaining, the Lions needed a stop on 3rd-and-8 to keep the game alive. Jalen Hurts’ pass to A.J. Brown fell incomplete to seemingly give Detroit some hope, but the officials wound up flagging Rock Ya-Sin for pass interference on Philly’s star receiver.
Not only was the call against Ya-Sin ridiculous, but Brown appeared to get away with blatant offensive PI as well:
Furious fans called out the NFL refs for the brutal call that allowed Philly to bleed the clock and seal the 16-9 victory.
“Eagles and getting bailed out by the refs what else is new,” a fan said.
