If you told Roger Goodell back in May that the biggest controversy that he league would face in September was roughing the passer penalties, I can assure you that he would gladly take it. Still, that is apparently that the NFL is currently under fire for the most, a trend that will continue after there were four roughing the passer penalties called in the first half.
They went both ways, the first two going against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for Gerald McCoy and Jason Pierre-Paul. The Pittsburgh Steelers responded with roughing penalties against Stephon Tuitt and Sean Davis.
