The squeelers are back on track.. I think the league is forced to help minority QBs. This is the 3rd time the rats were down big now and the Refs get then right back in it...

I disagree that the league has the refs aiding QBs based on such considerations. That said, some teams ARE favored by the refs especially at their home stadium and the Rats are definitely one - something that predates Lamar Jackson. 

The Rats have had a lot of good luck so far this season. Without a 100% unforced fumble by the Chiefs RB they lose to KC. Without the BAD miss by the refs on delay of game they lose to Detroit and tonight if the Colts made even one of an XP, a 2 Pt conversion and 2 FG tries they lose this one too. They also have not faced any good defenses yet - it will be interesting when they do.
