Hilton Roughing Penalty

[Au165]

For about a year after Trent Richardson killed a Steeler DB with his helmet they were calling offensive penalties on that interaction then it kind of died off. It was awful, and while I get the idea of “it shouldn’t come down to that” it’s silly to act as if we weren’t robbed of getting to see a potentially awesome moment from Burrow. All plays matter in a game and simply saying it shouldn’t come down to that lets the horrible officiating off the hook for that to happen again in another situation.

Official accountability is horrible in the NFL, they should be graded immediately after the game and the report released like the NBA does.
