NFL Officials Deserve Consequences for Overlooking Blatant Penalty Committed Against Justin Fields
Earlier on Sunday morning, ESPN NFL analyst Tedy Bruschi criticized the league for its inconsistent officiating when it comes to Justin Fields, highlighting several instances where hits on Fields should have resulted in penalties but went uncalled for unexplained reasons.
Bruschi's observations appeared to be on point.
On Sunday evening, Fields absorbed a significant hit without any penalty flags being thrown. It's hard to fathom how this wasn't deemed a penalty; the blatant nature of the incident is undeniable. Why was there no flag thrown on that play?
Some fans chimed in with their own commentary, reflecting a sense of frustration:
- "Maybe the NFL believes that since the Bears aren't prioritizing the protection of Justin Fields, they don't need to either," one fan humorously suggested.
- "The NFL likes to project an image of caring about player safety, but then they consistently fail to make calls like this in favor of Justin Fields," another fan added.
- "Week after week, we see Justin Fields getting hit after sliding, and week after week, it goes unpunished," lamented another fan.
