The referees decided the outcome of the game in favor of the Rams on Tuesday. I don’t like to say this, as I think it’s often an excuse used by fans whose team lost fairly, but it’s appropriate given how unfairly the Seahawks lost Tuesday night.
Shawn Hochuli’s crew, which already came in as the most flag-happy group in the NFL, made completely indefensible calls all night, nearly all of which broke in favor of the Rams. There were two calls in particular, though, that had Seahawks fans and Fox’s officiating expert/rules analyst Dean Blandino shaking their heads.
