NFL Referees

NFL officiating is bad. Time and time again this season, we’ve seen painful examples of this, including this past Saturday’s thriller between the Dallas Cowboys and Detroit Lions.

Sadly, the Cincinnati Bengals are the latest team to fall victim to what appeared to be some brutally bad calls by officials.

Not once but twice did the Bengals seemingly come up on the short end of a questionable call in what turned out to be a one-score loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, which eliminated Cincinnati from the NFL Playoffs.

Making matters worse is both calls came in the fourth quarter of a game decided by eight points.

That call was at least somewhat debatable. 

The second call was not, as the Chiefs clearly had Chris Jones lined up offsides on a play that turned into a critical sack.

That's not all, as the Detroit Lions also experienced bad NFL officiating

I get that no human is perfect, but please try to make an attempt to be as good as you can be. And the NFL should be able to overturn the penalty because that call affects the NFC playoff seeding and NFC playoffs results a ton.
