How on earth can the referees explain this??
One of the biggest storylines of the preseason game against the Kansas City Chiefs was when QB Justin Fields was victim of a cheap shot that went uncalled.
He was hit by safety Juan Thornhill while sliding on a scramble.
It clearly looked like a late hit after Fields gave himself up on a slide and the Chiefs weren't penalized. Those are the kind of hit that we don't need to have in our game, especially on a quarterback.
Later he mentioned he talked with officials about the play in question.
"And they said that they hit me in the shoulder but I was looking for like, an unsportsmanlike conduct or something like that, a late-hit call or something like that, but I guess I just have to wait a few years, maybe four or five years, before I get that one.
"So hopefully I get it soon."
Fields had said last season after a game against the Steelers that he was getting no calls while other veteran quarterbacks hit the same way were getting flagged.
When you look at the evidence, he definitely has a point.
