Useless rule? Refs miss blatant pass interference despite Texans' challenge

This new NFL rule allowing coaches to challenge pass interference calls and non-calls hasn’t been going so well.

The latest example might be the most egregious of the season: Baltimore Ravens defensive back Marlon Humphrey hung onto Houston Texans wideout DeAndre Hopkins on this pass attempt, and interference wasn’t called.

Texans coach Bill O’Brien challenged — and the refs still didn’t see what most of football Twitter clearly saw. The decision was upheld.

This was ruled to “stand” as not pass interference by Marlon Humphrey on DeAndre Hopkins. LOL. #Ravens #Texans pic.
