if it feels like we get zero help from officiating here's a stat that proves it

I am not going to lie...Every time we make a stop on defense, I am always waiting for a flag. That feeling is always there. Interception...Flag. 3rd down stop...Flag. 4th down stop....flag. I want anyone to tell me what was that flag against Gardner for illegal use of hands. That was a 3rd down play and we stopped until that flag came in. Don't a defender have 5 yards of free contact?

That was a hands to the face call. Did he do it? Yes. But he instantly let it go. Should've been a no call but the refs can get away with calling it because he did do it.
