NFL Rules Pete Morelli's Crew Has No Bias Against Eagles

The NFL has ruled that Pete Morelli's crew was not being biased against the Philadelphia Eagles during a Week 6 game against the Carolina Panthers.

Per ESPN's Tim McManus, an NFL spokesperson confirmed the league found no evidence of bias from Morelli's crew against the Eagles when they were flagged 10 times for 126 yards against the Panthers.

By contrast, the Panthers had just one penalty called against them for minus-one yard. Citing the Elias Sports Bureau, McManus noted the contest was the first game in NFL history with one team penalized at least 120 yards and the opponent penalized for fewer than 10 yards.
