Another day, another controversial roughing the passer penalty.
After Sunday’s late-game flag that extended Tampa Bay’s drive and helped the Buccaneers seal a 21–15 win over the Falcons, officials found themselves in the middle of more controversy at the end of the first half in Monday night’s Chiefs-Raiders game.
With Las Vegas holding a 17–7 lead with under two minutes to play in the second quarter, Kansas City’s Chris Jones sacked Derek Carr, ripping the ball away before Carr even hit the turf. Jones landed on top of Carr, which prompted the officiating crew to issue a roughing the passer penalty and give possession back to Las Vegas.
