chongli Posted December 13, 2023 Author Share Posted December 13, 2023 https://www.totalprosports.com/nfl/referee-frank-steratore-flag-holding-investigation/ "NFL Fans Calling For Referee To Be Investigated After New Video Exposes Suspicious Behavior During Controversial P.I. Call vs. Jets (VIDEO) New York Jets star Sauce Gardner became a trending topic last night after a holding penalty that nullified a Patrick Mahomes interception in Sunday’s 23-20 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. When the replay was shown, it was clear that Sauce was not holding and the Chiefs got bailed out. Now, a new video seems to bring into question the actions of a referee during that controversial play. Referee Frank Steratore is being called out for an investigation as a video shows him grabbing for his flag as soon as realizes an interception was about to happen. If Michael Carter II’s interception stands, New York has more than four minutes to get the game-tying or go-ahead score. In addition to a questionable defensive holding call against Sauce Gardner, which wiped away an interception, Jets defensive lineman Jermaine Johnson could be seen getting held for a stunning length of time on a play that resulted in a 25-yard run for Patrick Mahomes. Somehow, the officials seemed to not notice Johnson being held for multiple seconds. The Chiefs caught all the breaks." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikie2times Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 Is this the only task on earth you don't get much better at with year round training? That would have to be the NFL's stance to not have full time refs. That or they just don't want the additional cost. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But reading this also makes me hate the chiefs even more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
