Dolphins Got Called For One Of The Weakest Roughing The Passer Penalty Ever
NFL fans erupted with rage on Sunday night in the third quarter of the Los Angeles Chargers and Miami Dolphins' Week 14 game.
The officials in the Chargers-Dolphins game on Sunday night might want a mulligan on a roughing the passer penalty that was called against Miami pass rusher Jaelan Phillips following a sack of Justin Herbert. The play in question took place on a third-and-9 situation at the L.A. 18-yard line in the third quarter. Phillips was able to get to Herbert and sack him. It would have been a key play in a potential comeback for the Dolphins.
While Phillips did fall on top of Herbert (likely what drew the penalty from the official), it did seem like he tried to cushion his descent and could even be seen putting his arms to the side to further show that he wasn't driving the player into the turf. Yet, it still drew a crucial flag at that point in the game.
You be the judge...
