NFL officials had to explain two calls involving the Los Angeles Chargers from Week 7.
On one, while Justin Herbert and the offense were going down attempting to score their first touchdown of the game late in the fourth quarter, officials picked up a flag on a third down that could have been defensive pass interference.After the game, referee Clete Blakeman issued a statement on that situation, according to The Athletic’s: "The call was that it was essentially uncatchable by way of the flight of the ball and where it landed.
: "It was essentially helmet-to-helmet contact near the head and neck area of the receiver, which is what triggered the foul for unnecessary roughness."over the call. The Cardinals went on to kick the game-winning field goal after the flag. While the Chargers had plenty of chances to win Monday night and instead had droves of dropped passes, poor tackling and an offensive line that couldn’t hold up, these critically-timed referee controversies loom large in the minds of fans.
