Commanders fans are furious with the officiating calls in Sunday’s NFC East game against the Giants. Washington has been leading throughout the game, though fans believe that the refs are intentionally against them.
This was called a touchdown, after a long review.
“The refs hate the Commanders for real,” one fan wrote.
“Investigate these refs,” one fan added.
“Letting the giants and commanders fight for the ball in the pile for two minutes, then get into another fight outside the pile and then rule it’s a TD before you break up the guys fighting in the pile is peak NFL refs,” one fan added.
There was a controversial pass interference penalty earlier in the game, too.
Jets vs. Browns referees are getting called out, too
NFL fans are fed up with the officiating calls in the Jets vs. Browns game, too.
Jets head coach Aaron Glenn was furious, too.
The calls are continuing.
“PLEASE INVESTIGATE YOUR CORRUPT REFS,” one fan urged.
“PLEASE INVESTIGATE THESE REFS TOO!” one fan added.
“At this point, it’s too egregious to be merely a coincidence. Investigate these refs!” one fan added.
