I'm no lawyer, but I think the NFL is officially designated as an entertainment company and has no legal obligation to be impartial.

Side note: Always wondering when the beginning of the end would come for the Peanut Punch. It basically gives the D a free shot to "miss" the ball and wind the target.
I was ready to post the same video.
He was punching at the ball. The whistle didn't blow until after at least one punch at the ball. I don't think a penalty should have been called at that point in the game. Wasn't much contact. The first one didn't hit anything.
That's weird, it was translated in English on twitter but converted back when pasting. Anyway, Mahomes hit was a penalty and the hit on a no name QB3 was not.

In real-time from the broadcast camera angle it did look like he hit the guy but as soon as I saw the replay from the reverse angle it was clear the call was bullshit.
Context matters but that's clearly a real shitty look for the league.
Baseball used to be like that, now it is seriously improved with a ten second review. The accuracy is better and the game flow is not impeded.
The NFL could do better.
Seems we have upset the referee gods. Is there a sacrifice we can make to get them to move on to another team? (hello 49ers) Or May be a fruit basket to the league office? It Can't go on like this every game.
I’ll have to watch the replay, but I recall the line judge throwing the flag while the umpire did not. The umpire would have a better view considering he should be cleaning up the back end of play based on NFL mechanics (they are in the backfield with the ref while we are behind the linebackers). He would definitely had eyes on whether unnecessary roughness occurred on a defenseless player.
If my memory is correct, this is beginning to be a troublesome trend. Officials should be discussing the fouls especially if there is more than one set of eyes on the play. They have o2o (official to official) comms and can do this rather easily.
This falls squarely on the crew chief to ensure his crew understands to communicate and confirm between officials when both have views in the same zone where a foul occurred. We do this at the HS level with 2 less crew members and 3 less in youth.
A bit harder to fathom why this is a problem, especially at the fourth game of the season with many veteran officials.
Puka could maybe talk about how hard a refs job is and that everybody makes mistakes sometime. or something to that affect. You know, apologize the next time the subject comes up on an interview or podcast.
Tutu isn't big enough.
The Gods will say - "what a puny sacrifice"
This^^^^^
Was going to post something similar. Not a good look for the league and the stripes!
This is what will get me to stop watching the NFL.
I never had any interest in the WWE with their pre-determnined outcomes and I won't have any interest in this nonsense if they keep it up.

There a pass to Davante Adams where he pushed off and was not called OPI. Think was in the 1st half remember thinking we lucked out.
