Cardinals' Patrick Peterson Calls for More Refs on Field to Properly Enforce PI

cornerback wants the to add more referees to the field during games after he was called for pass interference on Sunday.

"What I'm proposing to the league: We need more refs on the field to officiate the game if the back judge can't see the receivers, so now the DB is at a disadvantage," Peterson told reporters Thursday (h/tJosh Weinfussof ESPN). "I almost think he's not refereeing the game properly. He's just not seeing the whole game, so we need more eyes to help these guys."

Peterson was whistled for defensive pass interference when he unsuccessfully tried to break up a pass from Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa to wideout DeVante Parker, but the Dolphins decided to decline the penalty in favor of Parker's 17-yard reception.
