Chris Jones May Have Just Been Called For The Worst Roughing The Passer Ever And People Are Furious

It’s been quite the weekend for controversy over roughing the passer. As we know, the rules on how quarterbacks can and cannot get hit have changed frequently. A lot of people hate it, but it does keep quarterbacks on the field. And, if you’ve watched the Chicago Bears this year, you know that games with bad quarterbacks are intolerable.

But, on Sunday, on a crucial play late in the Falcons-Bucs game, Tom Brady drew this roughing the passer call.

Now, with Tom Brady involved, people are going to be mad because they don’t like Tom Brady. The evidence points out that Brady actually gets less roughing calls than he should, but that’s beyond the point. Another call, this time worse, happened in the Monday Night Football game between the Chiefs and Raiders.

Chris Jones was called for an atrocious roughing the passer on a strip sack

You truly have to see it to believe it.

Here’s another look.

My goodness. Sure looks like a clean strip sack to me.

Troy Aikman, who is in the booth doing color commentary for ESPN, was furious.


He might get a talking to for that tomorrow.

Plenty of others had responses to the play.

Micah Parsons, the current frontrunner for defensive player of the year, also had his say.

Lawrence Taylor, the player that Parsons is basically a clone of, also thought it was ridiculous.

Sean Peyton also was bashing the call.

This is certainly going to ba topic for discussion all week.
