This week saw a very clear officiating philosophy. The low stakes contest led to low impact officiating.
Players Not In Formation
The officiating crew clearly came into this game determined to not call penalties they did not have to. One of the results of this was that they let a lot of really bad formations go. On probably half of the passing downs in the game, Denver Broncos LT Garett Bolles was too far back and not validly on the line of scrimmage. In similar situations, Los Angeles Chargers RT Trey Pipkins was also not on the line of scrimmage.
